Latgale region of Latvia 30 km from the border with Russia Despite the Stalinist repressions taking away property and lifes of innocent people two families already in the 4th generation have stayed in their own land and work on it day in and day out making almost everything they need with their own hands Making cheese and butter brewing beer shearing sheep weaving ropes from linen making split baskets these and other traditional crafts are part of their everyda life Just as the Latgalian language which is broadly used in this region although it is not included in the school programm and cant be used as an official language in state and local government institutions
