Happy New Year!

Omaha Teca!

Wioteheka Wi, the month of the hard moon is also one of new beginnings.

Since we’ve last posted, we’ve been busy giving presentations and tours at Pine Ridge and nearby. We also participated in art fairs, powwows. And most important, we spent time with our family. We’re excited to share with you that Kelly has been named a 2020 Culture Capital Fellow of First Peoples Fund. We’re honored to be part of an amazing cohort of artists representing their nations from across turtle island. You can read more here.

Preparations for the development of our project have begun. We’re developing our program for young people to learn how to make regalia and be part of our Lakota traditions through powwow dancing. Our program will begin soon. Stay tuned for more details.

Stay safe and warm but don’t forget to appreciate the beauty of winter especially under a full moon or starry night.
