How can you preserve your culture in a melting pot of cultures?
This question is important with global migration due to wars, natural disasters, and violence in so many places in the world. Now we all hunger to discover our DNA, our heritage, our origins. It's human nature to want to trace back our ancestry.
Join Suhein Beck in this episode as she invites brother Yusef and sister Maza Eshak to discuss how and why they are working so hard to preserve our ancient Circassian / Adighe Culture here in Southern California, USA.
A special tribute to their father, Zuher Eshak Melgoush, with appreciation & encouragement for them to keep inspiring the NEXT generation to HOLD THE KEY OF CULTURE onward!
**Circassians were expelled by the Russians after a150+/- years of war/genocide in the Caucasus Mountains of Southern Russia between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. The fear of extinction has driven Circassians around the world to a passionate obsession of holding on to their heritage. Since May 21, 1864, Circassians have thrived all over the Mideast, Europe, America, and Australia and have proven to be resilient in spirit and keeping their fundamental traditions alive.
This video proves the Circassian spirit is still vibrant and continues.
Suhein Beck presents this episode as a testimony of human nature's innate need to identify our roots. We can roam the earth freely, but there is always some form of pull-back in our souls to self-reflect.
Please share your thoughts about YOUR culture and what you enjoy of your own history...
The Circassian flag is a national and cultural symbol celebrated on Circassian Flag Day, April 25th. Its design features a green background with twelve gold stars forming a bow and three crossed arrows at the center, symbolizing unity and defense. The flag is not only significant to the Republic of Adyghea but also to Circassians globally, representing their cultural and spiritual unity.
David Urquhart, a British diplomat, is traditionally credited with the flag's creation in 1836 when he sent three flags to Circassia, symbolizing independence with a design of a white circle and three black arrows. However, this narrative oversimplifies the complex dynamics and roles played by others, notably Seferbiy Zaneqo, a key Circassian national movement figure who facilitated Urquhart's brief visit to Circassia in 1834.
Seferbiy Zaneqo's involvement was significant in the flag’s introduction to Circassia, a symbol of Circassian identity and sovereignty. The flag’s design connects to the heraldic traditions of the region, tracing back to the banner of Kuchuk Dzhankhotov, a senior prince of Kabarda, which featured similar elements of crossed arrows and stars.
Today, the Circassian flag symbolizes more than a regional emblem; it stands for freedom, unity, and pride. Celebrated with processions and cultural festivities, it represents the resilience and rich heritage of the Circassian people. Circassian Flag Day is an occasion to reflect on the community's ongoing struggle for recognition and self-determination. For more on the flag’s history and significance, the interview with historian Samir Khotqo on abkhazworld.com provides deeper insights into its ties to Circassian national identity.

"Navigating Between History, Memory, and Politics: Circassian Trans-Nationalism in the 21st Century". A Discussion with Prof. Madina Tlostanova (Linköping University, Sweden) and Prof. Lidia Zhigunova (Tulane University, USA). RUCARR seminar, Malmö University (Sweden), June 15, 2022 (https://rucarr.mau.se/).
ABSTRACT: In recent decades, we have witnessed a renewed ethnic mobilization among Circassians in the North Caucasus region in Russia, as well as among Circassians living in diasporic communities throughout the world. There has been an increased interaction between these two communities, especially since the outbreak of the Syrian Civil War in 2011 and the attempts of Circassians to save their compatriots by bringing them back and helping them to resettle in their homeland in the Russian North Caucasus. Our discussion will focus on the new forms of Circassian trans-diasporic mobilization and activism that led to the emergence of grassroots activism, the new civil society organizations and a substantially increased number of internet-based initiatives. Navigating between history, memory, and contemporary politics, Circassians have been able to cross many divides that no longer seem to be an issue in a post-Soviet digital world. They have showed a strong sense of common purpose in response to the many challenges faced by this community, whether defending their political and linguistic rights, or pushing Russia to reexamine its imperial legacy in the North Caucasus.

The Republic of Adyghea is in southern Russia. People who live here are called the Adyghes. They say the Adyghes are one of the oldest peoples in the world. Here people still abduct their brides and bridegrooms, never meeting their future spouse’s parents. Here you can find old table-stones and also meet the first female gunsmith in the Northern Caucasus. Find out more about the Adyghes in this report. <br /> <br />Adygea, like many of the North Caucasus is a land defined by its people. Their brand of hospitality, the passion for dancing and their traditions are unique, inspiring and a constant amazement even to a seasoned traveller like James Brown! It's not his first time in the Caucasus, but James Brown can't get enough of it. He always enjoys the fantastic hospitality, ardor for music and dance and amazing cuisine. In Adygea, James looks at the process of a local specialty - Adygean cheese, visits a tea plantation and takes some lessons in local arts and crafts. <br /> <br />SUBSCRIBE TO RTD Channel to get documentaries firsthand! http://bit.ly/1MgFbVy <br /> <br />FOLLOW US <br />RTD WEBSITE: http://RTD.rt.com/ <br />RTD ON TWITTER: http://twitter.com/RT_DOC <br />RTD ON FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/RTDocumentary <br />RTD ON DAILYMOTION http://www.dailymotion.com/rt_doc <br />RTD ON INSTAGRAM http://instagram.com/rt_documentary/ <br />RTD LIVE http://rtd.rt.com/on-air/
