Project Title: GuVo District Tohono O’Odham Cultural Sewing Club
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
NAAF works on behalf of the Tohono O’odham Nation, which is the second largest Native American reservation in both population and land size on the U.S.-Mexico border. NAAF works specifically with residents living in the GuVo District, which is the Nation\u2019s western most District located in the Sonoran Desert of Southern Arizona. It is a beautiful land, but one defined by economic hardship and a lack of infrastructure\/resources. Even the Tohono O\u2019odham language is considered to be an endangered language.<\/p>\n
As such, one of NAAF\u2019s areas of focus is on Language and Culture. As members of the Nation, NAAF has a vested interest and long-term commitment to preserving the District\u2019s heritage, customs, beliefs and language. This includes the teaching and development of traditional Tohono O\u2019odham art, handicrafts, language, gardening, and cultural history. Now, NAAF is seeking support to start a Districtwide \u201cSewing Club\u201d so that community elders can use their love of sewing to teach the younger generation this fun and useful skill. <\/p>\n
NAAF\u2019s Health and Prevention Team would oversee these activities as a means of ensuring traditional meaningful designs are not lost, and that the younger generations learn the importance of continue the traditions of Native People being able to communicate their identity through their clothing. Funding would be used to purchase sewing supplies and materials, including a small number of sewing machines. As envision, the group would meet monthly to socialize, host workshops\/tutorials, and create a fun, hands-on, cultural experience where community elders can use their knowledge and experience to help younger generations learn about their heritage by making Tohono O\u2019odham apparel, or other crafts, and sharing the meaning behind the designs.<\/p>\n
