What does it mean to be Lithuanian?
Does it mean living in your ancestral land?
Having a Lithuanian grandparent?
Maybe it's knowing the language, history or how to cook your favourite meal?
It's difficult to define, but you can almost always feel it: being Lithuanian is in your essence, in your blood.
This time, let's discuss some more practical aspects of it:
what is the history of Lithuanian language and how does it shape the nation,
how Baltic tribes were formed and Lithuanians came to be,
what were the main events in the cultural history of this land,
how do national costumes, festivals, food shape our national identity
and how does it all connect to knowing our ancestry?

About the author

Evelina Viktorija Žemeikytė
A lecturer, genealogist, columnist, the founder of „Stiprios šaknys“ („Strong roots genealogy“), currently seeking master's degree in Baltic language and cultures. After I've been actively researching my own family history for quite some time, I've realised more and more people get interested in their heritage, but they sometimes need help navigating all the resources and getting on the right track with their research. I offer online and onsite lectures to groups and communities in Lithuanian and English, organise educational programs for school students for getting to know their ancestors, learning about researching and respecting the past and the rich heritage that is coded in our history. I also consult one-on-one. |
