To honor is to show deep respect. An obligation is a responsibility one has that must be fulfilled without question. So, "Honoring Our Ancestral Obligations" means that we will show deep respect to our Ancestors by the way we live our lives and that we will fulfill our responsibilities with character, consciousness and commitment.
