The Hopi Way - Cloud Dancing
Katherine Cheshire, founder of Touch The Earth Foundation, has worked very closely with the Elderly Elders for many years. We are blessed to have her sharing her insights, and helping the Elders pass their message on to all who will hear it.

The Elders’ Fund was founded to send desperately needed temporary assistance to impoverished seniors. We recognize the value of the elders, for it is the grandmothers and grandfathers who are charged with the responsibility of passing on the traditions and heritage of their culture to future generations.
