So, visit Silverlining and ask for John Busy, the post's proprietor. They are located on the east side of route 301 just about 4.5 miles north of Stark, Florida. Or call John at 904-964-5054 and place a phone order.
A note of interest: The building where Silverlining is located also houses the council offices of
First American Cultural & Educational Preservation Association.
It also holds the meeting and class rooms used by First American to present native: language, craft skills, dances, cultural history and even flute classes for both begining and seasoned players..
A variety of services are available through the culture center. Dr. Rick Knight (Mico Nae) offers a full range of counseling services as well as native weddings and cultural events. Mico Nae has extended himself in the service of others to the exclusion of his own welfare. Even temporary financial and housing aid has been made available to both native and non-native peoples alike. After all, we are all one family in the eyes of Spirit.
First American has also sponsored many public and private gatherings. We have been honored to participate in many of the events. Unfortunately, Dr. Knight's health has caused us to limit the frequency of such events.
