Joe Rentaria was honored on Saturday, December 7th at a luncheon hosted by the American Indian Heritage Foundation at Barrio Station 2175 Newton Ave.  The  winter celebration is held  in San Diego to honor American Indian leaders in the community  to    recognize them  for their work and contribution to the world.

A massive outpouring from our indigenous community came out to enjoy, celebrate and honor each other.  Much enthusiasm and support from the volunteers inspired by Paula Brim  made this a  memorable and heart felt occasion.  Flute playing, feasting and storytelling made a great holiday event
