---->Two Crow: Two Crow is Oglala Lakota as well as Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara (Three Affiliated tribes). He was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. He received a G.E.D. through N.A.M.E.S. (Native American Multicultural Education School) and is currently attending Community College of Denver to be a teacher. He is a poet/lyricist who wants to inspire positive, conscious thinking and productive community outreach through my poems and songs.

She is heavily involved in community service around Denver and is all about empowering the Black and Brown communities. Que Viva! She's a lover of red wine, collecting an obscene amount of books, and feeding her hip-hop head appetite with a constant flow of new music.

---->Community Feature: American Indian Parent Advisory Committee for Adams 12 (Adams 12 AIPAC): We advise the school district on the Title VII grant, provide cultural
activities and tutoring services for our Native students. Our main goal is to help our native students succeed in education through culture. We assist our students with school needs (school fees, school supplies, summer school fees, individual tutoring). We are currently fundraising for our 3rd Annual AIPAC powwow that will occur on January 14, 2011 @ Silver Hills Middle school. We are raising all the funds to pay for the school building rental, janitor fees, Indian Taco stand supplies, Gym floor protection, powwow staff and much more! We are also having a food drive this year to help One Nation - all food, baby diapers, and women hygiene supplies will go a community on the Pine Ridge Reservation.

Workshops for Youth


We have been enjoying our  spoken word/poetry workshops with youth at KIPP Denver Collegiate High School and The Bridge Project @ Quigg Newton. We're excited to continue the great energy we've built with those youth. In the near future, we will be offering direct ways you can support them...

 

One series of spoken word/poetry workshops takes place every Wednesday from 6:30 to 8pm at the Bridge Project within the Quigg Newton community (4558 Navajo St). Youth outside that particular community can participate but need to register. Food is always provided. We are asking for consistent attendance @ workshops.
