    Hello Learning Circle folks. I have joined the circle. I'm a member of a number of Ning networks, so fairly familiar with the platform. If you want to follow my boring twitter feed, I'm rowanf. It is nice to be connected.

    Today, I did a quick internet search in my Virginia community to see
    how many “Native American Community Festivals” takes place in our
    region ! I must say I am startled at

    The amazing strong interest in “Native American’ cultures in our
    region on a community level, as evidenced by more than 20 such events
    I identified taking place each year now !.

    Just to give you a feel for what is happening now here, even in places
    there are no Native Americans, either pow-wow or “Native Flute Music’
    or some other forms of Native
    American festivals are taking place every year here.

    It’s amazing to me that in Virginia, there are no more Cherokees any
    longer. They did live here once in history. Yet, today, I found
    several Cherokee Festivals taking place here in Virginia where there
    are still 8 state recognized remnant Native American tribes ?

    Question: Should we not talk about sending a “Four World Heritage
    Amassador Team” from our existing councils, focusing particularly on a
    “Native Am Children’s Festival’ add-on
    to at least some of these community event starting 2011 ?
