This guide was distributed at the Utah's 1997 Fife Folklore Conference on the Traditional Arts. It makes the point that everyone has folklore and traditions, and then explores ways teachers and folklorists can help students understand, benefit from, and contribute to their culture. Some of the Utah traditional arts explored are beadwork, leatherwork, hat making, stone carving, and a variety of ethnic musics.
