ESI Event Significance

Definition

An event that is important for reinforcing the way(s) in which participants bond with each other as members of a social group based on a presumed common ancestry with a common cultural heritage.

Description

Examples include: rites of passage (for example: Bar or Bat Mitzvah (in Jewish culture), Quinceanera (in Latin culture), Walkabout (in Aboriginal Australian culture)); dance performances in ethnic styles (for example: Hawaiian hula, South Indian dance, and Irish dance); cultural sport gatherings (for example: Scottish Highland games); and extended-family reunions. An ethnic group is a human social group whose members identify with each other, usually on the basis of having a common cultural heritage (for example, as distinguished by customs, language, religious practices, or common history) or a presumed common ancestry.
