"Walking in Balance" Captivates Gadugi Tarrant
Abraham Bearpaw, shown in insert pic, brought his "Walking in Balance" to Cherokee Gadugi Tarrant County last Saturday, Aug. 16th, along with his assistant and story-teller, Lily (in blue shirt standing in larger picture.) They enthralled Gadugi members and guests with Cherokee wellness and health guidance doused with an inspiring dose of culture and crafts. The program was also developed by Dr. Jennie Alexa Barnes (not present or shown) and Mr. Bearpaw won this year's Seven Feathers health award, p, 6 in Aug.1 "Cherokee Phoenix." This gadugi group in Tarrant County thanks Mr. Bearpaw and Ms. Lily for a wonderful excursion into Cherokee health and wellness.
