Why Meriwether Lewis? Many people don't know that Meriwether Lewis' ancestors came to the western hemisphere from Wales, that Lewis spoke Welsh and was chosen by Jefferson to lead the expedition to explore the Louisiana Purchase in part because Jefferson and Lewis could write to each other in Welsh and trust that their letters would remain secure from non-Welsh speakers. Today there are Lewises, Davises, Griffithses, Jenkinses, Williamses and more who have no idea that their own ancestors came from Wales and are in danger of losing or have lost their families' cultural heritage. Canada, the United States, Argentina, Uruguay and many other places in the west are home to treasures of Welsh heritage and the rich traditions of imagination, creativity, song and story Welsh emigrants brought with them around the world.
The Chase Community Giving initiative gives us the opportunity to win a $20,000 grant which will be used to increase the range of activities and events at this years Eisteddfod. We hope you will support us in our effort to secure this grant.
