IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY

This project brought us all together, young and

old. Culturally and spiritually renewing

ourselves so that our art continues on and

allowing us to interact with each other.

Allowing our young to listen and learn from

their Elders and the Elders learning from

them.

During these classes we unfortunately lost our

eldest of our Elders, Papa Ammie Jacobs at

102 years old. The classes allowed each

person to honor departed family members in

their own way.
