Greetings!
Spring is right around the corner and you know what that means?! That's right, the Pow-wow season is here and what better way to kick off the season then to join the Native American AIDS Project at our 5th Annual, Taking Care of the Tribe Pow-wow, commemorating National Native American HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, next Saturday (3/19/11) at the Horace Mann Academic Middle School located at 3351 Mission Street here in San Francisco. This year we welcome Dustin Lovejoy, an enrolled member of the Omaha tribe in Nebraska, to come and share some of their traditions with the community. Gourd Dancing starts at 11am, grand entry at noon followed by our contests categories Golden Age to Tiny Tots. All drums and dancers are welcome, we can't wait to see you there!
