This is an incredible opportunity and I intend to learn as much as I can. As your webmaster, I should tell you that I am Kahnawake Mohawk and spoke nothing BUT Kanienkeha (our word for what you may call "Mohawk language") until I was 6 years old - then it was lost as my family moved to California. What a loss and it is a quest of mine to relearn all I can these days. I relate to the symbolic and sociological value of the efforts people like Quirina and others are making to work with beautiful and very human tongues.   Wiyot Table Bluff Fundraising... from Cheryl Seidner, Tribal Chair He'ba'lo' Greetings, On Saturday, April 7, 2001, the Table Bluff Reservation - Wiyot Tribe is holding an Art Auction at the Eureka Art and Film Center, Eureka, California. Many wonderful pieces of art have been donated, however, we would like to offer even more items to our potential bidders. All proceeds from the evening's events will go toward purchasing sites that are sacred to the Tribe and the clean-up of those sites. If you would like to donate an art item, or know of others whom you feel might be interested in donating, or would like to know more about our Auction, please do not hesitate to contact Ardith Huber at our Tribal Office at (707)733-5055.
