ittle by little, as people are starting to grasp virtual worlds, they find that virtual world technology can recreate many things we hold dear like traditions and cultures.There are lots of places in Second Life that serve as memorials of the many things we hold dear in real life. Our virtual world has served as some sort of a looking glass that bares our imagination and depending where we are from, our culture. The places we see, the items we rezz, the people we meet - they serve as priceless reminders and we hold it dear. This month, we celebrate those kinds of places. Places like Muddy’s where one’s memory is cherished. We also discover people like Joe Yazzie, SL’s first Native American artist to have a SL gallery of his real life art, and his son, Joesseppe Yazzie trying to recreate Native American Indian culture in SL in an effort to salvage their culture. Visiting their gallery gave me a lot of insight about their culture coming from Joe Yazzie’s perspective. All this and more for another sizzling issue of AVENUE!
