I am officially on the Board of Trustees for the Wheelwright Museum in Santa Fe, NM.  I am so grateful that members of the Board of the Wheelwright thought so highly of me to nominate and vote for me to become a new Board Member.  Thank you!

A couple of weeks ago I did a presentation at national conference for the WARP( Weave a Real Peace) Organization, in Carefree, AZ.  I met wonderful people at that conference who were doing wonderful things to organize, sustain (I mean really sustain), and market handmade items in countries in Africa, South and Central America.  Everyone was doing something absolutely wonderful and it got me thinking, “What have I done that is wonderful like what these people are doing?”

I consider myself an activist and ambassador for protection of Native intellectual property, cultural preservation, and recovery of Navajo spiritual paraphernalia.  In my Dine’ culture, I do not consciously think or promote myself as an activist nor an ambassador for Native people.  The reality is, I am an activist and an ambassador.  I will begin promoting my services to give presentations on Navajo weaving and culture, give Navajo weaving demonstrations, and promote understanding between Native and non-Native cultures.  The fact is we, as the human race, need to have mutual respect and cooperation between Native and non-Native cultures especially in this country.  I look forward to meeting you or corresponding with you, the reader of my blog posts. Thank you for your time and energy in reading this blog.  May you walk in beauty my friends.    Morris
