A friend sent me the below link. I feel sure I've seen his name here before, but there are a lot of "Two Feathers" out there.

Laurel, I think it's important to post a photo from that news story

Our Mission is to educate, provide information and document Native American Gatherings in Kentucky and the surrounding areas.  To let people know that we are here, that we have always been here.  Our hopes are that someday the history books will be changed to reflect the truths of our heritage.




They also appear to be involved in the following organisations:

Ohio River Native American Intertribal Community (ORNAIC)
Ohio Valley Native American Veteran Warrior Society (OVNAVWS)

This is a request from ORNAIC, OVNAVWS, and the Richmond Powwow Association  to other individuals or groups to help us share our culture. We have been asked and have journeyed to schools, scout groups, and even military installations to speak and share our culture with others. We would like to get others involved and work together to accomplish this. We are receiving more and more requests and if we work together we can form a network of people in different parts of the Commonwealth to answer these requests. So far we have ORNAIC, OVNAVWS, and the Richmond Powwow Association involved but we wish to work with all who are interested please contact one of the following:
