A special treat is in store for those who attend. The program will include a presentation by Jerry Dearly. Jerry Dearly is a storyteller as well as an educator in the American Indian Education Program for St. Paul, Minneapolis public schools. "We live in an urban setting," Dearly said. "Many of our children today are intermarried and intercultural children. Any stories to provide direction for them are very, very valuable." Dearly says education is the key to success and he will continue to educate people of all ages and of each culture. "We're all one. All our cultures are one," Dearly said. "If you have a question ?, he says, ?ask an elder, ask someone in the nation," Dearly says.
