Canada Director: Helen Haig-Brown (Tsilhqot’in) Individuals in two communities of the Secwepemc Nation in south- central British Columbia share their experience in cultural renewal and recovery.

“Cultivating and nurturing the future of our Hopi people through education...”
When Jean Charley-Call left the Hopi reservation to follow her dream of becoming a Licensed Practical Nurse she didn’t know she would inspire future generations of her family to pursue their own dreams. But she has.
Her commitment and example demonstrated the value and life-changing power of education to friends and family like her granddaughter Jenna, a 2012 Suma Cum Laude graduate of Arizona State University.
You can empower students like Jenna with a gift of support to the Hopi Education Endowment Fund. Our work enables Hopi students as they each begin their individual educational journey.

CANES OF POWER: SYMBOLS OF PUEBLO SOVEREIGNTY Saturday, Sept. 8 Dinner: 5 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. Film Screening: 7 p.m. Rasmuson Theater, First Level
CANES OF POWER (2012, 52 min.) U.S. Directors: Pam Pierce and Nick Durrie In 1864, President Abraham Lincoln recognized Pueblo independence by bestowing an ornamental, silver tipped cane to each Pueblo Nation. From more than 500 Indian nations in the United States, only New Mexico’s 19 Pueblos received these symbolic gifts of sovereign status. The Lincoln Canes documentary, Canes of Power, allows the Pueblo people to tell the story of the Canes, and the struggle for sovereignty, upon which cultural survival depends. Canes of Power is told through historical narrative, interviews, video images of Pueblo communities and photographic or oral histories of cultural and political events
