About the Lighting of the Teepees & Rematriate Performance at the JH INTERTRIBAL GATHERING
On behalf of the Intertribal Gathering planning and supporting partners, and in partnership with the Pretty Shield Foundation and Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council, we invite you to join us on Wednesday, October 4 at 6:30pm at Phil Baux Park to celebrate the connection between communities, culture, and land.
As the sun sets, enjoy a special performance of REMATRIATE by Patti Baldes, featuring willow buffalo sculptures brought to life by dancers in a reflection of the relationship between Tribes, buffalo, and the land. Then, watch the Lighting of the Teepees installation illuminate at dusk, standing as visual reminders of unity and collaboration.
Mark your calendars and be part of this celebration of unity.
