Ticci Man Project - Nonprofit
Road Show: Traveling
Native Learning Center and Store
We're not interested in waiting for the world to come to us so we're going to
the world, so to speak.The Ticci Man Project includes the creation and operation of a Traveling
Native Learning Center and Store (TNLCS) that we like to call the "road
show." TNLCS will travel the US and Canada and
provide tribes and Indian operated businesses and other venues with both a promotional tool and a
cultural learning experience for the entire public to enjoy.
For added appeals, the Ticci Man show or film cast members, from time to time, will
make celebrity appearances and give the TNLCS and its sponsors a powerful
boost of public awareness, appeal, and business promotion.
Store items will include authentic Native arts and crafts as well as film and
series memorabilia and an expanded cultural learning mail order catalogue for
purchase of other NA related items, such as books, custom products, and more.
Road Show Cultural Entertainment
Other aspects will include traveling Native dance performers with both modern
and traditional dance exhibitions providing a mini-carnival experience of fun
for the whole family. Dramatic and comedic skits by Native talent will also
be forwarded in larger venues.
When night falls, traditional Native story tellers will also be on hand to heighten
the cultural rejuvenation experience for one and all, ensuring a deeply
memorable experience for all participants.
In short, TNLCS is about celebration of Native culture and sharing it with
the world while benefiting tribal lands, people, and Indian owned businesses in the
process.
*Terminology We
use the term Native People (NP) in the purely anthropological sense to
denote "aboriginal people of the world, which includes a
wide variety of self-descriptive nomenclatures, including Canada's First Nations
People, Native Americans, and many others of the American continents and Pacific Island
groups and places of the world. When
more specific descriptions are used, they will include current country of origin
or commonly known tribal names (i.e. Mohawks of the Bay of
Quinte, Dine, etc.). |
