INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAYS 2008

All volunteer, the October event is a fundraiser for the TsiAkim Maidu Trbe of the Taylorsville Rancheria, Nevada City, California. Some expenses - transportation, food and shelter - may be compensated to invited presentors by prior arrangement . Also, expenses are paid for technical support.
