'Throughout Indian Country, they tell us that our horse is part of us, it's part of our history. It became so much a part of us that we adopt them as our brothers, as our sisters. There are many stories that go along with this. We're deeply involved with the spirit of this horse. They tell us that a horse will lead us to something good. Whether it's food or a good place to camp, or something worthy, so we trust in our brother horse,' a speaker at the event said.
The gathering started Friday morning at Expo New Mexico and is closing Saturday at midnight with the conclusion of the year's final performance.

WaterFire Sharon looking for volunteers
SHARON, Pa. (WKBN) – There's a need for volunteers to help with a premier event in Sharon. WaterFire Sharon returns to the water July 26. There will be two shows this year. More than 50 braziers are anchored in the Shenango River during an event, and they're set on fire after dark. There's an emphasis this year to find more volunteers who can be on the water as captains. There are also numerous opportunities on land during the event. It takes more than 200 volunteers per year to make WaterFire Sharon run smoothly. 'The reason the volunteers are so important is because they allow the visitors to have the best experience. Everything functions right. They are kind of that backbone that keeps everything together and running,' said Adrianna Padilla, land operations manager. If you want to help with the brazier installation, show up June 21 at 9 a.m. You can find more WaterFire volunteer opportunities on its website. The second WaterFire event is September 20.
