ZUNI, NM — The Zuni Youth Enrichment Project announced today that preparations are under way for the 7th Annual Delapna:we Project. Made possible with support from the New Mexico Humanities Council, U.S. Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), New Mexico Behavioral Health Services Division and First Nations Development Institute, this innovative project brings the Zuni people’s traditional oral stories to life through the performing arts.
The Delapna:we Project began as a collaboration between the Zuni Youth Enrichment Project, A:shiwi A:wan Museum and Heritage Center, Edaakie Arts, ShiwiSun Productions, Zuni Public Library, KSHI Radio and other Zuni community members; collectively, they are known as Ho’n A:wan Productions, and their rich partnership continues today. This fall, the partners have held four leadership meetings to reflect on previous seasons, discuss highlights and favorite memories, and plan for the new season.
