Allenroy Paquin

Allenroy Paquin is a professional dancer, storyteller and flutist who provides a wide array of dazzling and informative Native American talent . He is as comfortable in the Pow Wow arena as a champion Fancy Dancer as he is behind his table of silver and gold jewelry. He became involved in Pow Wow Dance at a young age, and inherited the Zuni tradition of jewelry making from his father. Allenroy says some of his objectives are to “promote American Indian culture…to break down the stereotypes of “Hollywood Indians”…and to provide an example of the beauty and talent of the Native American.”

Maldonado

Alex Maldonado, well known for his Yaqui Flute, performs with his daughter, Melissa (inset), who sings, dances and also plays the flute. Son Nick is the group’s percussionist. Joining the group in 2007 was granddaughter Luisa Velanzuela (far left), performing Fancy Shawl Dance.

Alex Maldonado’s flutes are all handcrafted from various types of wood with intricate beadwork. It can take him three days or three months to make a flute, depending on the detail of work. Maldonado’s flutes have won prestigious awards in various art shows, and one is on permanent display in the Phoenix City Hall Native American Art Collection. Maldonado balances his time between creating the flutes and performing his music.
