SUMMARY:Plant Providers Design Charrette
DESCRIPTION:Join us in MNA’s Pearson Hall (located near Colton Garden) for a discussion on the design of the Plant Providers section of Colton Garden. The section is being developed to grow locally sourced\, useful\, and beautiful native plants of the Colorado Plateau—species that benefit people\, animals\, and the earth. Many are edible\, medicinal\, fragrant\, or beneficial to pollinators and other wildlife\, and some will be cultivated in quantities to support the needs of Native artists who use these plants in basketry\, dyeing\, and other traditional arts. At this session\, we’ll review ideas from the previous meeting and gather more input as we begin drafting the design to share at the next meeting. All are welcome to participate in shaping this collaborative garden for growing\, learning\, and sharing.

SUMMARY:Apache Crown Dance
DESCRIPTION:Experience the Apache Crown Dance from the Diamond Creek Crown Dancers\nApache believe the Creator sent the Mountain Spirits (Gaan) to the Apache to teach them to live in harmony. The Apache Crown Dance is a representation of the Mountain Spirits and their importance in the Apache culture. Five male dancers perform the dance in a structured group wearing hooded masks with elaborately painted crowns and wielding painted wooden swords during the dance. The dance is performed with drum and song. \n\nDiamond Creek Crown Dancers perform the Crown Dance at tribal gatherings to preserve their culture and at exhibition events to educate the public about the rich history of the Apache people. \nThis program is included with general admission to the Museum. \nObservers should maintain silence and minimize movement during the ceremony to show respect for the dancers\, drummers and singers. Photography is permitted during the dance\, however one should never approach\, touch or request photographs with the dancers.
