HELP US RAISE THE WALLS
Tzitch'cuh'drew'dhi - The Place Where the People Gather
PHASE ONE FUNDING GOAL: $625,000
We are so blessed to have our 320 acre land base, title free and carrying no debt! Our goal is to remain debt free. Help Hamaatsa continue to grow and flourish as we raise the walls for our much needed facilities. We anticipate breaking ground by Summer 2012, beginning with Phase One, for the first two building priorities: the Kitchen Hearth House and the Bath House.
"The hearth place is where all learning happens within our Pueblo Indian life-way. A space with heart where family and kin gather to remind one another of the lineage of beginnings connected to earth beneath the dirt floor, where the fire gives light and warmth, where we will continue to gather around the drum and tell our stories and sing our songs." ~Larry Littlebird
Donations of any size are welcomed and gratefully appreciated.
Our deep gratitude for your support and stewardship!
Tzitch'cuh'drew'dhi, "The Place Where the People Gather"
Architectural Design and Rendering by David Riley (Hopi/Laguna Pueblo)
"From the circular form, the design evolved into an Arc, that opens to the south with its back to the winter wind, and set into the south side of the prominent knoll. The Arc symbolizes the movement of the sun, moon, stars, flowing water and Mankind, walking backward, hand in hand, day by day, night by night, year into year out ... creating an atmosphere of a family village to provide a gathering place so man can begin a new conversation with his Universe" ~David Riley
