WELCOMING RECEPTION AND CELEBRATION
OUR NATIVE AMERICAN COMMUNITY, COLLEAGUES, PARTNERS, FUNDERS AND THE PUBLIC ARE INVITED TO A SPECIAL CELEBRATION WELCOMING OUR NEW DEPUTY DIRECTOR TO WISDOM OF THE ELDERS, INC.

The celebration will be held on May Monday May 16th 2016 at Ecotrusts Billy Frank Sr. Conference Center 721 NW 9TH AVE #200
PORTLAND OR.  5:30PM - 7:PM
Food, non-alcoholic beverages, and desert will be served along with ambiance music.
Rose High Bear along with our Wisdom staff and interns will be the presenting speakers who will introduce themselves and update   the community with the many Wisdom projects.    

Wisdom enthusiastically welcomed Dorothy Aguilera-Black Bear, Ph.D. (Choctaw) to Wisdom last month. She and her husband Kashnapi (Lakota, enrolled member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe) and two boys Isaac and Nace Black Bear, (Lakota, enrolled in the Rosebud Sioux Tribe) travelled from Boulder, Colorado to their new home in SE Portland.
We would like to have an opportunity to introduce Dorothy and her family to our community. She holds a Ph.D. in Educational Foundations, Policy and Practice from University of Colorado at Boulder.  For the past two decades, she has worked to improve education policy and practice through community-based research with school communities in urban and rural settings that serve tribal and urban Native populations throughout the country.  As a Native woman who has lived in reservation communities and in mainstream communities, she is sensitive to issues pertaining to restoring and preserving our cultural practices especially languages and has published on topics related to Native students  rights to their languages in schools, language policies, educational sovereignty and indigenous leadership.

Dorothy is expected to assume the executive director role at Wisdom in 2017. Co-founder and current executive director Rose High Bear will continue to serve as executive producer of Wisdoms documentary film series along with the culturally tailored multimedia curriculum which is compatible with Native American learning styles that has been developed at Wisdom for the past decade.
