In conjunction with Cultural Survival, you are invited to a very special evening event Friday, November 10 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Santa Fe Community Foundation featuring Maori elder and activist Pauline Tangiora and special guests. Ms. Tangiora will hold a dialogue around how each of us can rise up in our own community and become empowered in our actions, including and especially our youth. Q & A will follow. This is a rare opportunity to host Grandmother Pauline in Santa Fe.
