<font color='#000000'>It is generally understood today that there are seven separate though related Celtic nations and tribes, all of which who are connected to one another by common history and culture. Many of these nations are resulting settlements of Celtic tribes in a history of diaspora. These seven nations respectively are: <tr><td> <td>Cymru (Wales)</tr> <tr><td><td>Kernow (Cornwall)</tr> <tr><td><td>Mannin (Isle of Man)</tr> <tr><td><td>Galicia (Spain)</tr> <tr><td><td>Briezh (Brittany)</tr> <tr><td><td>Eire (Ireland)</tr> </table> Since so much of the Celtic peoples history was passed down by "word of mouth", there is little record of their history. The Celts believed that passing down their hertiage and culture by song and dance would have a more lasting effect than the written text book. In some respects they were correct! I hope to post more information about this topic in the future. If anyone wants to share their knowledge, please step in! Here is a map of the Seven Celtic Nations:</font> |
