To Gunter, Sonja and all the Great Staff that helped to create this event. Kwa-Kwai (Hopi Thank-you). May the sun continue to show a bright future for this film festival. Not only did I enjoy the great selection of films but you also gave me the opportunity to meet and create bonds of friendship that will last a lifetime. I hope that our presence (Nakotah + I) will help the continued success of this endeavor. We have enjoyed the hospitality and kindnesses (As well as food) that you have provided. It has both nourished our body’s and spirit. It has sparked a creativity in me that will continue to grow. I will reflect on this experience with great fondness and look forward to the day that I return to this beautiful city and country. May the Great Spirit continue to guide and protect you.
