We would like to have everyone of Native American to show their pride in their heritage by wearing a feather in their lapel and hanging feathers in their yards. In December, we will actively support the Kickapoo Blanket Drive with donations of food, blankets and toys for the people on the Kickapoo Reservation. In January, we will launch the Moccasin Making Contest with a mini workshop on moccasins. In February, we will launch our media blitz about the event, along with school programs, lectures and contests. The location is tentatively scheduled for Bear Creek Park and will begin with a Moccasin Walk, in traditional dress through the woods of Bear Creek Park.
Participants can then enjoy demonstrations, presentations, workshops, food and arts and crafts.
We also plan to hang prayer feathers and sing Amazing Grace in Cherokee. CCS will need the help of all of our members to make this a truly rich and rewarding event. Please contact Judith Bruni to volunteer for a committee.
