About Us

Our Story

New! You can do well AND do good by supporting us with your tax-deductible contributions. We’ve established a 501(c)(3) nonprofit so we can help more people in more ways – education, economic development, and cultural celebrations!   First up, we’re raising $5,000 for our IndigenAHORA! Latin American Hip-Hop programs, with New Mexico’s own N8V ACE touring Chile in 2018. You can help in just a couple of clicks at ActBlue.

We’ve been creating unique cultural experiences since 1994 – from intimate artisan gatherings to multi-day festivals with international participation. You name it, we’ve probably done it, from the deserts of New Mexico to the steppes of Mongolia. We have long-standing relationships with leading contemporary Indigenous chefs, performing artists (Navajo hip-hop anyone?) and Indigenous organizations around the world.

We’ve also created and presented cultural marketing training programs around the globe for Indigenous artists with the support of numerous governments and NGOs.
