Short Description of Activity
Attended an earlier event at Cross Orchard Museum were members of the Native American cultural Group presented educational material to people attending. They did dances explaining regalia and occasion for the dances, told some of the history of Utes in this area and hd handcrafts for sale. They also had an information booth where I was given an information packet and told about the monthly meetings of the local group.
