The Night with the Stars was a great success thanks to many of our community members, friends and especially our sponsors. Pukúu, Cultural Community Services strives to empower our community by rebuilding our culture. In order to achieve these goals, Pukúu has established
the One Stop Emergency Services Center, the Stronger Families Fund and the California Indian Youth Scholarships. Pukúu enhances the well-being of our
community by providing much needed program services to our
Native American Indian families and students residing in Los Angeles.
The Night with the Stars was an official event of American Indian Heritage Month in the City of Los Angeles endorsed by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Los Angeles City/County American Indian Commission.
