Opportunity for Agency or Tribal Pre-Training Forums
If your agency or tribe would like to hold a pre-training forum for your own employees, please contact SAIGE Chair, Fredericka Joseph at Chair@saige.org to make arrangements.
Forums are specific to your organization's issues and updates, and often
this time will be used for internal training purposes.
Forums are generally held on Monday between 1:00 pm and 5:00 pm. SAIGE will provide you with a meeting room and there is no cost to your organization
unless you request specialized audiovisual equipment.
SAIGE provides a coffee break in mid-afternoon for all attendees.
Monday Night Cultural Reception 7:00 PM
Allegany River Indian Dancers 
Our Kick-off event for the whole National Training Program Week.
Includes entertainment, food and good fellowship.
The Allegany River Indian Dancers are a Native American dance group that showcases the traditional songs and dances of the Iroquois. The general performances incorporate many aspects of Native American culture. The Seneca language and culture pertaining to the origin of the songs and dances are shared in the program narratives. All performers wear traditional Native American regalia. All the music is performed live. The show is as educational as it is entertaining. Some of the highlights of the show include the Iroquois Smoke dance, a very fast contest dance. The Hoop dance is also featured. The hoop dancer uses hoops to make various designs and shapes to represent birds, animals and themes from nature in this beautiful story telling dance.
