In June of 2002 we threw an "Elahkwa ("THANK YOU" in Shiwi) Party" on the beautiful patio at the INN OF HALONA. It was our way of expressing our gratitude to the carvers and their families for the generosity of their talents, creativity, their welcoming spirits, and the warmth of their friendship.
We had a catered dinner, a performance by Zuni dancers **(You should NEVER photograph a ceremonial dance, but this was a performance so photos were permissible)** and a raffle for prizes. About 75 people attended and a good time was had by all!
