Native American Day, Pow Wow Calendar Update and more on PowWows.com


I'm gearing up for a trip to Florida in just a couple of days, and I couldn’t be more excited! I’m heading to my all-time favorite conference, Momentum, hosted by my good friend Lou Mongello. It’s always an incredible experience. And the best part? I get to spend some time with our daughter, who's working at Walt Disney World—talk about a perfect bonus!

Momentum is a small, intimate conference with only 50 people, which means tons of great opportunities to network and really connect with everyone. I’m putting the final touches on my presentation, and there’s so much I want to share! My biggest challenge is making sure I don't rush through it—I tend to get a little too pumped when I’m up there. Wish me luck on that!

On another note, our annual Explore Native challenge is just days away from launching, and I can't wait for you to see the awesome prizes we've lined up. Plus, I’ve got some big news coming in October—stay tuned for that! If you’re not already on the list, make sure you sign up so you don’t miss a thing!

SPECIAL - This week our sage and cedar bundles are 10% off!

Thanks,

Keith Kerrigan

A critical part of any business is knowing what you do, that is, realizing what your focus or purpose is. I love making Haida jewelry and I love working directly with my clients. I will have a discussion with you about what you are looking for, be it something you need immediately or it may be an item you need it in the future. The best part for me about these conversations is that it gives you and me an opportunity to get to know each other. The piece will be designed with you in mind and I will make every effort to match a Haida story to both you and your project.
