The Griot - A traditional African historian, story teller, lecturer, educator, advocate, leader, communicator, performer, adviser, messenger/"drummer," poet, and archivist.  This essential keeper of the flame is vital to the continued survival of our society and the numerous segments and pockets, thereof.  Cultural and societal change being the only reliable constant and increasingly so,  the job of the Griot is more critical than ever.  Much has been lost to complex "evolution" and the de-valuing of sacred traditions...but just how much?  GrioTribe believes it is the duty of us all to preserve those systems, methodologies and technological advancements that may serve to unify us, fortify us and allow us to maintain higher levels of quality of life, universally.  So, to this end, the GrioTribe is here to serve.
