MARIN AMERICAN INDIAN ALLIANCE

In Honor of All Tribes

A SIA INDIAN PRAYER

"White floating clouds, clouds like the plains, come and water the earth. Sun embrace the earth that she may be fruitful. Moon, Lion of the North, Bear of the West, Badger of the South, Wolf of the East, Eagle of the heavens, Shrew of the earth, Elder war hero, intercede with the cloud people for us that they may water the earth."

The TANF Program

At our April gathering, Diane Gubatayao, Senior Case Manager, and the Tribal TANF Outreach Committee of the TANF of Sonoma and Marin came to present the various programs that are available to those that are enrolled in federally-recognized tribes.

Tribal TANF of Sonoma and Marin, administered by the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, will structure their program activities according to the needs of eligible needy Indian families. Families will have case plans that are tailored to meet individual or family needs and can be centered around cultural and traditional practices so as to preserve and protect Native American communities and cultures.
