Hello, my name is Kim Cournoyer. I am a Native American Band Teacher from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in Fort Yates, North Dakota. This is my 4th year teaching here. My first year here we started out our program with 14 students in band. I now have over 100 participating in grades 7-12.Recently we have been raising money to travel. My students would like to see Disney World, but they are also interested in touring a reservation school and perhaps performing for a student body that would still be in session during the second week of June.
Our music program involves contemporary vocal and instrumental solos, an 8th grade guitar group and an 8th grade - 12th grade concert band. We are putting a concert together that would be approximately one hour long. Do you know who I could contact to set up a tour of a school, or a performance for a school to make a cultural and musical connection with? My school phone number is (701) 854-3461. My home phone number is (701) 854 –3608. Our school address is: Box 377, Fort Yates, ND 58538

Hello my name is Lori and I am trying to find out about a basket that I have. My mother give it to me, I have had this basket for a long time.It was made on the Seminole reservation in Brighton, Florida in 1959. It has the doll head on top of it but is small and round shape but flat on the bottom.
It is still in good shape and means the world to me nothing in my house material wise means so much to me as this little basket. I was just wondering just how old this basket might be and do they still make them like this. I would appreciate any information on this wonderful basket. Thank you.

Thank you! Your website was very helpful! My fourth grade daughter picked Seminole Indians for her Native American report. Everything was presented in an easy to understand format. The next time we visit Florida she wants to come visit your village!Thank you for the chance to learn of your culture and lives.
Sincerely,
Cathy
