Drum Feast in Honor of Sophía García-Robles
The American Indian Resource Center of UC Santa Cruz is putting on Drum Feast
in Honor of Sophía García-Robles.
Here are some details about Drum Feast that may interest you,
Event Details:
Sat. May 26th, 2012
From 11 am - 5:30 pm
Oakes Lower Lawn
Honoring Sophía
Sophía García-Robles was a former financial aid adviser here at UCSC.
She was an inspiring woman who touched many students through her guidance and
perseverance. Sophía remains a known Santa Cruz community member and activist
through her involvement with Chicano/Latino and American Indian communities. She
was an active member of the Santa Cruz Indian Council and helped
organize the annual Red Road Pow Wow. She regularly volunteered for El Teatro
Campesino and for the Santa Fe Indian Market. Obtaining a B.A. of great
distinction from San Jose State University, Sophía used her skills in Social
Science and Anthropology to serve others. She was a volunteer, activist, and
asset to the both her hometown in Borger, Texas as well as in Santa Cruz.
Drum Feast in Honor of Sophía García-Robles, is a memorial to this amazing woman
who impacted many with her charm, generosity, and loving personality. The AIRC
will commemorate Sophía throughout the event and keep her in our hearts and
minds as we all join together to dance,
sing, and drum.
The purpose of Drum Feast:
Drum Feast is meant to revive the Pow Wow event on UCSC campus that has been
dormant for a decade as well as honor a cherished Santa Cruz community member
and former financial aid counselor of UCSC. Through this memorial we will
instill her goals of spreading diversity & cultural presence among the
university as well as create a sense of pride and moral for Native people in the
Santa Cruz Community.
