The Phoenix Indian Center has been providing services for valley
American Indians and their family members since 1947. The annual gala
and art auction serves as a major financial support for the Phoenix
Indian Center to continue its services. We encourage you to host a

event includes a wonderful Native American Silent Art Auction where you
will have an opportunity to purchase paintings, jewelry, sculptures and
more. Pieces have been donated directly from artisans and galleries.
Enjoy mingling with hundreds of guests that will include tribal
leadership, dignitaries, corporate partners, and community members.
Leading sponsors for this year's event include Casino Arizona, Salt
River Project, Arizona Public Service, Boeing and SFC of Arizona.

This year's program will be highlighted by internationally popular
Native American talent that includes classical guitarist Gabriel Ayala
and Master Ventriloquist Puppeteer, Buddy Big Mountain!

"One of my absolute favorite aspects of board leadership is the
opportunity for the Directors to sponsor this wonderful cultural
celebration designed for everyone in the Valley to attend and support
the long-time agency.  It doesn't matter if you are Native or not, we
can all come together in this event.  If you've never come to our gala
and silent auction, you really must join us - it's unlike anything
you'll ever experience again." - Phoenix Indian Center Board President,
Bob Roessell 

FEATURED ENTERTAINMENT

 BUDDY BIG MOUNTAIN
Buddy Big Mountain is one of the most entertaining performers in Indian
Country today. A side-splitting blend of humor, song, puppetry, Native
folklore and some of the best master ventriloquism you've seen, Buddy
Big Mountain is a memorable experience for all to enjoy. 

"One of the most valuable expressions of Native peoples is the use of
humor in our teachings," says Phoenix Indian Center CEO, Patti Hibbeler.
"This is a phenomenal opportunity for the entire community to see that
with a master storyteller and entertainer, Buddy Big Mountain. We're
delighted to feature him at our fundraising event and know everyone will
be thoroughly entertained." 

Buddy Big Mountain is Mohawk and Iroquois, and a self taught
ventriloquist who is internationally recognized as the first Native
American master Ventriloquist Puppeteer.

His blend of comedy, ventriloquism, singing, magic and hand crafted
marionettes have delighted audiences from around the world. Buddy began
his introduction to the world of entertainment at the age of two. He
traveled the world with his family performing Native American dances in
many countries. While in Switzerland, he and his family were invited to
perform for the late Charlie Chaplin and his family. 

 GABRIEL AYALA
A member of the Yaqui people of southern Arizona, Gabriel Ayala is at
the forefront of a new generation of Native Americans making a career
performing classical music. He began playing the guitar as a child, and
would later study with Philip Hii. 

Ayala performs regularly throughout the United States and has appeared
at the Kennedy Center for the Arts, National Museum for the American
Indian, ASU Keer Cultural Center, and Meyer Theatre in Green Bay,
Wisconsin. He has been recognized by the State of Arizona and Governor
Janet Napolitano for his musical achievements and has been named a
Tucson Citizen of the Month as well as Artist of the Month for the IICOC
(Indigenouse Internet Chamber of Commerce). 

Ayala has released three self-distributed albums. His first, "Gabriel
Ayala," was nominated for a Native American Music Award, Best
Independent Recording in 2003. In 2007 Ayala released a Christmas CD,
"I'll Be Home for Christmas" and in 2008 "Tango!" which includes many
arrangements by Ayala. Ayala has recently signed with Record Label

THIS WEEK'S ART AUCTION HIGHLIGHT

 This week's silent auction highlight is a bronze sculpture that was
created by artist Larry Yazzie and was donated by Basha's: The Zelma
Basha Salmeri Gallery of Western American & Native American Art.

This phenomenal piece is just one of the many items available at the
26th Annual Phoenix Indian Center Gala and Native American Art Auction.

All proceeds from the art auction support the Phoenix Indian Center's
programs which will help thousands of valley American Indian individuals
and families this year.

ABOUT THE PHOENIX INDIAN CENTER

The Phoenix Indian Center is the oldest Native American non-profit
organization in the country.  Formed in 1947 as a safehouse for Native
people seeking opportunity in the Valley, the Indian Center became an
outgrowth of Native people moving to urban Phoenix not only to sell
their crafts and goods but as a result of the Federal Government's
Indian Relocation Act.

The mission of The Phoenix Indian Center is to promote the social and
economic self-sufficiency of Native Americans living in the greater
Valley. Programs offered by the Center include Workforce Development and
Social Services along with several Educational and Cultural Programs for
both youth and adults.

These vital programs serve individuals from more than 100 different
tribes across the country.
