Raiders Celebrate Native American Heritage Posted Nov 11, 2009
a a Several activities are scheduled for this Sunday's game... The Oakland Raiders will pay tribute to Native American Heritage Month this Sunday when the Silver and Black take on the Kansas City Chiefs at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. The celebration includes a KTNN radio broadcast in the Navajo language, an on-field ceremony to honor Navajo Code Talker and Former Leader of the Navajo Nation Peter MacDonald and a performance by the Native American dance group – Native Boogie and Beats.
“We salute the Navajo Nation and the Navajo Code Talkers and we are proud to broadcast Raider games in Navajo for the fifth consecutive season,” said Raiders Chief Executive Amy Trask. “We are committed to reaching our global fan base in a variety of languages and through a variety of multimedia options. Broadcasting our games in Navajo allows us to do this and also presents another opportunity to preserve the Navajo language and to salute the Navajo Code Talkers.”
Native Boogie and Beats will welcome fans with a traditional dance performance at the Coliseum BART entrance gate. The dancers will celebrate the beauty and pageantry of Native American social dance and singing styles commonly viewed at Pow Wows.
Hello GaRY, So they are playing "Powwow Highway" at the El morro in Gallup this weekend. Come down and watch it with my cousin Brenda and myself. .. from Gallup.
I really wanted to see your show here in Flagstaff, I've heard good things about it. When is the next time that your headed out this way. If its soon I would really like to know.
THERE ARE ALOT IF TROUBLESOME HEALTH RISKS THESE DAYS. SOME HAVE BEEN HERE AWHILE, SOME ARE NEW. THE SWINE FLU, FOR EXAMPLE. THESE AND MANY OTHER SICKNESS' ARE GROWING AND GATHERING STRENTH FROM WHAT WE CONSIDER TO BE A SPIRITUAL PROBLEM NOT A MEDICAL ONE. FROM LONG AGO SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE HAS BEEN TURNED INTO RELIGION. THESE ARE TWO COMPLETLY DIFFRENT THINGS, 180 DEGREES OF DIFFRENCE. AND WE THINK ITS THE SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE PEOPLE ARE RECIEVING {THAT THEY DON'T THINK THEY ARE RECIEVING} THAT IS THE PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN YEARS, 100'S OF YEARS OF MANIPULATION IN THE AREAS OF THESE THINGS. " EVERYTHING WE THINK, EVERYTHING WE DO, EVERYTHING WE SAY " WE ARE CALLING ON SPIRITUAL HELP. THE HELP WE RECIEVE IS ACCORDING TO THE NATURE OF THE THINGS WE ARE SAYING, THINKING, AND DOING. THIS WAS LONG AGO WHAT WE CALL PRAYING... WE ARE ASKING FOR A NEW SPIRITUAL GUIDE TO BE CALLED ON TODAY, A HELPING GUIDE. WE ARE ASKING FOR EVERYONE TO GIVE THEIR NEIGHBOR A COAT OR BALNKET, OR SOME MILK, OR SOMETHING THEY NEED. HELP WITH THEIR YARD, OR CAR. ANYTHING. AND IF YOU CANT THINK OF ANYTHING SEND US A COAT OR BLANKET, WE WILL GIVE IT TO SOMEONE WHO NEEDS IT. WITHOUT EXPECTING ANYTHING IN RETURN... IN DOING THIS WE WILL BE CALLING ON A POSITIVE SPIRIT TO BE AMONGST US. THE SPIRIT OF GIVING. THIS SPIRIT AND ITS NATURE IS THE START TO HEALING WITHIN. AND THIS WILL HELP US ALL AVOID THESE SICKNESS' THAT ARE HERE TODAY. CONTACT US HERE OR AT goodthinking4allourrelations@yahoo.com
Thanks for the add. I'm sorry I missed you guys at the Mine Shaft last night, but I found out about it a bit too late. I'll try to catch you in ABQ later.
