ALL OCCASIONS _sWICEs Similarly, on the educational front, we can invite organizations, such as the Museum of Indigenous Culture and Natural History, to table at the event, and invite them to possibly lead a hands-on arts session with children that would be free to attendees, and invite the Santa Ana Public Library to lead storytime and engage children in making crafts, such as friendship bracelets or creating dream catchers. We can also invite the United American Indian Involvement to provide a workshop on southern drumming, window art, or beadwork. These are already events UAII currently offers at their LA location. Inviting school clubs such as Santa Ana College's Aboriginal Ascendance and K-12 schools, such as Garfield Elementary, to present their Native American school projects could be another option. We can also collaborate with the Heritage Museum to support the arts, including the possibility of recruiting one or two chalk artists to create art honoring native american culture. For other family -friendly activities, we can reach out to Home Depot or Michael's to see if they would like to come in as a sponsor and provide free arts & crafts in the Kid's Zone.We can also reach out to MyGym or the local YMCA to bring a mobile obstacle course and other activities for the Kid's Zone. Bringing in inflatable jumpers and a rock climbing wall is another great pull for families to join the event. We have a go -to vendor for this that have worked with us on prior festivals. As mentioned previously, we could reach out to local organizations to sponsor various parts of the event. A few sponsorship ideas could be "Kid's Zone Sponsor", "Knowledge Lane Sponsor", and "Main Stage Sponsor". We have some sponsors in mind who could possibly be interested in sponsoring this event. These sponsorships would help us bring in more complimentary activities and provide more resources and educational workshops for the attendees. We would like to bring in face painting, a free children's activity. With additional sponsors, we can look into bringing henna artists or a bubbles event company to set up in the Kid's Zone to provide free activities to children. Knowledge Lane would include interactive activities such as native drumming tutorials, short dance lessons, or having indigenous artifacts on loan from the museum. Our goal is to create a high -quality, full sensory experience for the attendees, and to bring about an experience that will be talked about at the dinner table for years to come. Whether it was something they saw, heard, tasted or felt at the Indigenous People's Day, they will look back and remember this event as a gathering of people, a gathering of culture, and a gathering of unity.
