American Legion-Boys
State
As a program of The American Legion, Boys
State developed from the concept that youth should be offered a better
perspective of the practical operation of government; that the individual
is an integral part and commensurately responsible for the character
and success of his government. As such, it is an activity of high educational
value, born out of a need for youth training in practical citizenship.

A
Walk to Remember
The “Walk To Remember” was a huge
success! Friendships developed and the commitment to saving the lake
and the region was affirmed and reaffirmed in lodges, city halls, mainstreets,
back roads, sidewalks, and dusty paths. We all learned that standing
side by side in a good way and asking the spirits to guide us will keep
us strong and our lakes, homes, rivers, and forests will be protected!

Corps
of Discovery II
When Meriwether Lewis and William Clark
arrived in North Dakota, on their way to the Pacific Coast under the
charge of President Thomas Jefferson, they were greeted by members of
the Hidatsa tribe. They were Gerald Baker's ancestors, and he said they
probably greeted the two Louisiana Purchase explorers with an expression
that, roughly translated, means "What are you guys doing here?"

New Perspectives
on THE WEST
In a conversation with us several years ago, the
Kiowa poet N. Scott Momaday remarked that the American West "is
a place that has to be seen to be believed, and it may have to be believed
in order to be seen." For five years we have travelled that landscape,
photographed its vistas, talked to its people, sought out its history,
all as part of our production of THE WEST, an eight-part documentary
series for public television. Now -- 100,000 air-miles and 72 filmed
interviews and 74 visits to archives and collections and more than 250
hours of film later -- we have begun to understand at least something
of what Momaday meant.

North
American Indigenous Games
In our cultures, to vision quest is strong
and good medicine. To have a vision for the people is powerful and to
fulfill a vision for the people is sacred. Our ancestors were given
visions by the Creator, which lead the peoples to govern themselves.
The North American Indigenous Games was a vision.

elders and ceremony. Peace and Dignity Journeys runners start simultaneously

Fuego, Argentina traversing the entire continent by foot from community
to community and joining together for a final gathering in Central America,
Panama. The 2012 run is dedicated to Water, reminding all who have forgotten
that Water is an important resource and a shared resource for all.

Phoenix
Indian Center
The Phoenix Indian Center, Inc., was established
in 1947 to serve the needs of the American Indians who came to downtown
Phoenix to sell their arts and crafts or shop for their families. They
needed a place to receive messages, freshen up, or socialize with other
Indians. After years of using volunteers to help maintain the location
on Wall Street (Downtown), the Center received funding and began to
incorporate. In 1954, the Center incorporated with the State of Arizona
as a private non-profit 501(c)3 status. Today, the Center is the primary
resource of social, economic, educational, leadership, employment and
training for urban American Indians of Maricopa County.
