Native American Hoop Dancer Eric Hernandez shares his gift, the Native American Heritage of Hoop Dancing
On Tuesday, November 22 from 5 pm to 9 pm a food drive was held at the Student Union North Conference Center where students joined in celebrating cultural performances and enjoyed an array of cultural foods and desserts. Over 100 students showed up for Friendsgiving to celebrate the gift of giving. Kimberly R. said, “Last week I received an email about the Friendsgiving event and figured it would be for a great cause and that I would love to attend and support my fellow classmates.” Kimberly also said she’s been trying to go to an on-campus inperson event for quite some time and was excited she could finally attend such an exciting event. “I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to network and meet other people on campus, and this was a great start”, says Kimberly R. of CSUSB. Students and guests enjoyed a hoop dance performance
by Eric Hernandez who has been hoop dancing for over 20 years and spent half a decade dancing with the circus. Hoop dancing is a form of storytelling through dance and song from the Native American Heritage expressing sacred and important traditional healing ceremonies representing the never-ending circle of life. Students and attendees also had a chance at a raffle to win a free spring semester parking pass, a 50-dollar gift card to Stater Bros. Markets, and an iPad Pro. All winners of the prizes were announced during the event and were beyond excited to have won such awesome prizes. ASI staff member Miguel, the event coordinator who put together the event, says, “The purpose for the event is to bring many cultures from all backgrounds to come together and enjoy Thanksgiving. The food drive was put together to help students who attend Cal State San Bernardino but do not have the necessary funds to provide for themselves this holiday season and
we wanted to take that worry off their hands this Thanksgiving.” All proceeds for the food drive went directly to the Den at Cal State San Bernardino to help students on campus with food resources. It’s amazing what one person can do but look what becomes when multiple people get involved with the gift of giving. As inflation continues to rise and gas prices constantly double for many people, keeping up is almost unbearable. But here at CSUSB, it is one-forone and one for all. No student will be left behind for the holidays. It is a mission to provide and make all students who attend the campus feel like one. No one should feel alone or have to go without food, water, or shelter. Though despite the food drive taking place this past Thanksgiving you or anyone else always have the opportunity to partake in the gift of giving. All donations can be made to support the Obershaw food Den Pantry on Monday and Tuesday from 9 am to 5 pm, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 am to 6 pm, and Friday’s 9 am to 2 pm.
