Conference participants were treated to a Native Breakfast of freshly
warm bread right out of the outside Hurana ovens served by Pueblo women. What a wonderful
way to start our Tuesday networking session! What followed was an evening to
remember at the Tamaya Hyatt outside Amphitheater. As the sun was setting in
the distance and the mountaintops glowed as the evening drew upon us, we were honored by the local Pueblo Indians with a Corn
Dance and their musicians who eloquently played their drums until our hearts were simultaneously beating as one.
As the evening continued with the Gala Dinner, conference participants were
serenaded by Native flute music throughout their dinner. The inspirational words
of Dave Anderson, the presentation of awards and the excitement that lingered throughout the atmosphere concluded with conference
participants being presented with corn necklaces from local Pueblo Indians dressed in full regalia. On a personal note, I would personal like to thank everyone that participated in the cultural program which
includes the artist, dancers, musicians and crafts persons.(Chi Mii gwetch)
