We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Freda Porter from Porter Scientific for putting forward our co-founder, Rene' Locklear White, as a nominee for the prestigious Distinguished Women of Honor award. It is truly an honor for us to be recognized during the 11th Annual Conference for American Indian Women of Proud Nations Ceremony and Banquet in Pembroke, N.C. We are incredibly grateful for this recognition. The Distinguished Women of Honor are recognized for a lifetime of service. They have not only performed a job, but they have gone "beyond the call of duty." These women have been catalysts for new visions, understanding and positive change in American Indian communities. They have also developed and implemented innovative strategies and solutions to meet community needs. These honorees are expected to continue to work and speak for American Indian people in ever-broadening spectrum to build strong, vibrant, economically sound and peaceful communities. | Meaning of PearlsIndigenous Native American Indian legends contain rich symbolism and imagery associated with pearls.
