Description

TENA Council has been in existence since the 1980's. We hold Native American ceremonies to bring people of all Nations together in a peaceful way. One way we practice this is by having an event called the Honoring of the Elders Gathering, held annually. We are all volunteers and none of us get paid to put this event on. To financially supplement this event we do security and traffic control at the Stanford Powwow held in Palo Alto on Mother's Day weekend. This event pays us and in turn we use this money for the Honoring of the Elders Gathering, which covers at least half of our budget. We need volunteers for this Stanford Powwow, as it is a 3 day event. Our Council also holds bi-monthly sweat ceremonies.
