Native American Women Warriors have submitted an application to serve as the color guard for the Presidential Inauguration -- representing women, veterans, and tribal people so that's three groups often sidelined. They're holding a fundraiser to cover expenses if they're approved.

The creative part? They want to make new regalia for the special occasion, as well as funding their travel/lodging costs. Look at what they're wearing in the pictures. That kind of outfit is stupendously beautiful and creative. Looks like sewing and beadwork, though I can't tell whether or not there's quilling too -- different people use different crafts in their regalia. This would be a fine opportunity to get some eyeballs on traditional crafts that don't get much public exposure, on an occasion where a whole country will be watching.
