Description

For the 8th annual Powwow for Hope™: Dancing for Life, Love & Hope, AICAF’s friend and 2019 Head Dancer, Robert Desjarlait (Red Lake Ojibwe), created a design to honor the late Herb Sam (Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe). Herb Sam, Sr. “Gidagaabinesh” was the Spiritual Advisor for the first seven years of Powwow for Hope and provided ongoing support to all at the AICAF. Herb was a humble, yet respected elder and healer from Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe. He was diagnosed with liver cancer in the summer of 2018 and passed within a few months. AICAF developed this design as a way to honor Herb and thank him for his support.
