Mar. 21 Honoring the Animals Paw wow, 11300 Nacogdoches Road (Three miles outside Loop 410, just north of Wurzbach Parkway), San Antonio, TX 78217. Save the date! Dancers, Vendors & Sponsors needed on March 21st, 2008 from 10am to 4pm! Join Apache del Rio Intertribal as we honor our animal brothers through partnership with Danza Azteca de Yanaguana Tejatzlan and the Animal Defense League of Texas. ADL has allowed us the use of their property to sing, dance and socialize on this wonderful first day of Spring. The "Honoring the Animals" Paw Wow is an event for cultural sharing. The American Indians who participate do so because of their traditional beliefs and a desire to share with those willing to learn more about our heritage. The "Honoring the Animals" Paw Wow continues to attract attention from the local community, ADL patrons and the American Indian community. We receive no support from the state or any tribal government or agency but are solely funded by individual and public donations. Proceeds are used to fund worthy Native American programs, particularly educational programs for youths. Powwow participants (dancers, drums, elders, and families) often travel from other parts of Texas, as well as other states at their own expense. It is customary for these people to be given an "honorarium" to help with their expenses and time away from work. The honorarium is especially critical this year with the high price of gas and troubled economy. The "Honoring the Animals" Paw Wow is asking for your help. Honorariums make this powwow possible, and your sponsorship of a dancer or drum is vital to the powwow in its mission to share the Indigenous traditions of the San Antonio area and of Texas. Thank you for your consideration. All Powwow Princesses - we invite you, please come and represent your tribe, band, organization or group! All Drums are welcome to offer a song. To advertise in our Powwow Program, please call Eugenia at 210-413-0961 or email efernandez@apachedelrio.org. Business card size (2"x3") ad - $20; 4"x5" - $30; 5"x8" - $50; 8"x10" - $80. The event itself will be advertised on radio and televison. For more information contact Steven Fernandez, 210-902-2735, lanzavolante@apachedelrio.org, http://www.apachedelrio.org

May 9-10  16th Annual Mariposa Powwow, Mariposa County Fairgrounds, Mariposa, CA.  Once a year the American Indian Council of Mariposa County (AICMC) - aka the Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation - organizes a traditional Native American celebration. To most people this celebration is known as a Pow Wow but, to us it is known as Chi-Tock-Non Kote-U-Pu - a drug-free, alcohol-free, smoke-free Spring Celebration The next event, May 9 - 10, 2009, marks our 16th annual Pow Wow and is important not only as a celebration of our Native American culture, song and dance but, more importantly, helps to fund the Nellie Tucker Scholarship. At present, the Southern Sierra Miwuk are not Federally recognized and, therefore, do not qualify for the larger Scholarships and Grants that are available to recognized tribes. The Nellie Tucker scholarship, administered through the AICMC, provides funds for local Native students who are trying to further their education.  Flyer:  http://www.visitmariposa.net/powwow/flyer.jpg, http://www.visitmariposa.net/powwow/index.html
