Welcome!
Everyday Folkways
is a community resource network that builds systems to strengthen and promote folklife and folkways in and around Lewis County. We envision a community sustainably enriched and meaningfully supported by a thriving, practical, and accessible folklife.
We understand FOLKWAYS to be skills and activities carried out by an individual or a community, primarily for their own use.
Notably, this often involves the use of local and/or natural resources found in the community.
We refer to the collective role of folkways in one’s life (or in the life of a community) as FOLKLIFE.
To accomplish our goals, we connect local individuals and organizations engaged or interested in folkways; educate about and advocate for folklife in the community; and work for folkways to become a visible, practical, and accessible option for anyone in our community.
We believe that life is richer when we lean on what we can do in our homes and our community — rather than on what we can purchase from somewhere else. So join us at our monthly project circle; listen to our podcast; sign up for our monthly newsletter; and get connected at our resource hub and calendar.
