August 16, 2019 marked a very special day for the Native Arts and Cultures Foundation (NACF). Surrounded by friends, artists, and community, we celebrated ten years of service with a Gratitude Reception in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was a particularly meaningful celebration, as Carolyn Kuali`i, NACF Board Members Joy Harjo and we remembered our first public event held at the Santa Fe Amy Hanaiali`i Gilliom, Keone Nunes Indian Market in 2009.

NACF board members, staff, volunteers and over 100 guests came together at the Santa Fe Community Convention center to help us celebrate a decade of support for Native artists. The evening began with a blessing offered by Former Governor Mark Mitchell of the Pueblo of Tesuque, followed by a poetry reading by NACF board member and U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo, plus a performance by National Artist Fellow Laura Ortman (White Mountain Apache). Additionally NACF board member Amy Hanaili‘i Gilliom made a special appearance singing a song to honor Mauna Kea.

Laura Ortman (White Mountain Apache), We would like to thank everyone for the generous support NACF National Artist Fellow of NACF over the past ten years and in the years to come.
