Getting Involved

Volunteer Your Time

Volunteers are always in demand by the Tribe. We could use help boxing up food on the day before it is given out to the families that need help. There is also a need for a Tribal work team that can repair things around our Tribal Elders homes. We can get the materials donated we just need the workers to volunteer their time and experience. Events the Tribe is having also requires a number of volunteers. We may need help putting up flyers or cooking or planning an event. Please feel free to contact us to offer your help, no one will turn you away.

Dancers and Drummers Needed

We need one adult member to volunteer as the Director of the team. We would like to form a dance team. We need young boys and girls from ages 8-18. They will learn traditional Native American dances and we will be teaching boys how to drum. This team will do performances at schools and special engagments on request from organizations. The Tribe will help the team members with getting Regalia made. This is a good experience for the children to teach them these dances and their culture. We want you to come join us and have some fun and learn about your heritage.
