Jamie Schulze: Executive Director, SWAIA - Epi. 253, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I had Jamie Schulze say today, she is just a terrific individual
and I just love her upbeat, happy demeanor. You can just feel in
her something that is giving. She's the perfect person to be the
executive director of SWAIA. 

Jaimie is someone who really cares about the artists and
understands the process. She has the responsibility of promoting
not only the art, but the cultural sensitivity of participants
that represent over 200 different tribes. So it's a big
organization to control and this is her first full year doing it.
We talk about some of the upcoming things that will happen at
Santa Fe Indian Market, which is this year during the third week
of August. It was interesting to hear her backstory growing up on
the reservation in Montana, as well how she ended up at SWAIA and
her commitment to the organization. 

Medicine Man Gallery is going to be sponsoring the best of show
award for Santa Fe Indian Market for the next five years, which
is a big deal because I've been going to the event for over 30
years and I feel a strong connection to the artisans there. To be
able to give back to that community is very rewarding on a
personal level.

All that being said, it was very fun to get to talk to Jamie
Schulze and I hope you enjoy the podcast as much as I did.
