Kannawidan is a word came from "tawid" meaning heritage or inheritance.Another significant historical event was achieved by the people of Ilocos Sur as the maiden "Kannawidan Ylocos"Festival was successfully held to showcase its long time hidden talents and its old and indigenous costumes,traditions,cultures and products.
Stretching the imagination just a little bit,we see how much the Ilokano loves his Ilocos Sur.The Ilokano,even with the much "progress"he is experiencing today,will always preserve his heritage and his culture.Wherever he may find himself living anywhere around the world,Ilocos will always be his "home."
According to the book:"Kannawidan was first an idea developed in the minds of a group of civic spirited Ilocanos who wanted to promote cultural awareness and preserve the rich historical and cultural heritage of Ilocos Sur.They wanted to rekindle in the youth and future generations the pride of their heritage.The magnificent idea developed and is now and a living reality,Kannawidan,the Iloko Foundation of Arts and Culture."
