Native Trails at Scottsdale Civic Center 2008! 

These are the photos taken at the the Native Trails 2008 event that took place at the Scottsdale Civic Center in Scottsdale, Arizona. 

During this time, It happened to be Spring break for Texas and so my mother was visiting for the week. Apparently I didn't take many photos during that visit, but here you see when she joined the dancing circle. 

The ones she herself took during the visit and of this event are towards the end of the Memories of Yore: Photos from My Mother's Camera - 2008 ~ Springtime https://youtu.be/O8IN5eZYUZ8?si=ZO9yHOMAc0AZfR1v  

Native Trails is/was an event put together by the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts and am not sure if they still do this event, but here is some info from their site: https://scottsdaleperformingarts.org/event/native-trails/ 

Native Trails takes audiences on a cultural journey to the First Nations of Arizona and North America through Native music, dance, and art. These performances highlight traditional instruments, colorful dances, and customary attire to share the stories of Southwestern tribes, including the Hopi, Diné (Navajo), Hualapai, and San Carlos Apache.
