Pinning the Daffodil and Singing Proudly: An American's Search for Modern Meaning in Ancestral Ties Abstract This paper is a collection of my personal experiences with the Welsh culture, both as a celebration of heritage in America and as a way of life in Wales. Using my family’s ancestral link to Wales as a narrative base, I trace the connections between Wales and America over the past century and look closely at how those ties have changed over time. The piece focuses on five location-based experiences—two in America and three in Wales—that each changed the way I interpret Welsh culture as a fifth-generation Welsh-American.

Anglesey & Gwynedd Jldp (2011 – 2026) Public Inquiry
ANGLESEY & GWYNEDD JLDP (2011 – 2026) PUBLIC INQUIRY: Hearing Session 6 – NATURAL AND BUILT ENVIRONMENT Action Point S6/PG1 – General Refine policy wording to ensure consistency in terms of describing the degree of impact, i.e. the use, or not, of ‘significant’. Councils’ Response In respect of the policies pertaining to the natural and built environment, the Councils conisder that this is only an issue for policies PS16 and AT4 and are addressed under Action Points S6/PG5 and S6/PG10 respectively. Action Point S6/PG2 – Paragraph 7.5.2 Present Matters Arising Change to correct the last sentance of paragraph 7.5.2 to note that the whole of Anglesey has been designated by UNESCO as a Geopark. Councils’ Response After giving the matter further consideration it is considered that the sentence that refers to the GeoPark should be moved to the section relating to ‘landscape conservation’ rather than retain it within the section dealing with ‘nature conservation’. Also, it is considered that additional information should be included to explain the reason for the Island’s designation as a Geopark. Consequently , t he Councils wish to offer the following modifications (through Matters Arising Change): 7.5.2 Nature Conservation : Species of principal importance .................. Part of Anglesey is designated as a GeoPark. 7.5.4 Landscape conservation : Covering an area that incorporates the Anglesey Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Llyn Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, to the boundaries of the Snowdonia National Park, the Plan area has a distinctive and diverse landscape. As well as the nationally protected Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the wider Plan area has tracts of unspoilt countryside that are locally distinctive and worthy of designation as Special Landscape Areas.

LINGUISTIC PROFILE OF THE LLANAELHAEARN CATCHMENT AREA 2.1 The Background of Gwynedd's Language Profile 2.2 Wards 2.3 Ysgol Llanaelhaearn 2.4 Nearby Schools 2.5 Attainment Levels 2.6 After-school Activities 2.7 Community Activities 2.8 Welsh in Education Strategic Plan 2017-2020 2.9 Additional Evidence 3. IMPACT ON THE WELSH LANGUAGE 3.1 Options 3.2 Welsh Language Impact Assessment 4. CONCLUSION 1. INTRODUCTION Supporting and developing the ability of children in Gwynedd to learn and use their language skills is essentially important to the education strategies of the County. 1.1 The Situation in Gwynedd Figures in the 2011 Census note that 65,900 (56%) people aged three years and over can speak, read and write in Welsh. The 2011 Census also notes that 65% speak Welsh which is a reduction since the previous census, when the figure was 69%. In Gwynedd, as many other Local Authorities in Wales, there is a considerable difference in the percentage of Welsh speakers within different wards. At one extreme, in wards such as Aberdyfi, Tywyn and the Menai ward in Bangor, between 18% and 38% of the population speaks Welsh, while as much as 78% speaks Welsh in the most Welsh-speaking areas e.g. Llanrug. 1.2 Language Policy Primary The aim of the Language Policy is the same across all the county’s primary schools, which is to develop the ability of all pupils to be confident in both languages by the end of KS2.
