Abstract
It is always important and necessary to review certainly relevant scientific publications. And especially those which are intended not only for the academic community, but also for a wide circle of readers of various education and experience. Now all the publications intended for cultural heritage of ethnic regions and subregions of Lithuania are of topical issue. Unfortunately, our famous geographers have divided Lithuania into regions, districts and smaller administrative districts having forgotten to take into account the boundaries of ethnic origin, so the boundaries of Sėla, Skalva, Žiemgala, Dainava or other historical Baltic tribes were doomed to oblivion. Therefore, how can we restore to our young people if not the respect then at least the interest in the origins of our parents’ and grandparents’ identity? The only hope is education. So everybody who cares about the ethnic identity of our people have to continue tirelessly and successively gather data and disseminate the knowledge about the history of one or another ethnic region in Lithuania, relics of cultural heritage, dialect features, peculiarities of traditional lifestyle and crafts. The publication under review Žiemgalos kultūros paveldas (Žiemgala Cultural Heritage) describes place names, language, old sacred places, ethnic music and burial traditions of Žiemgala region.
