At 1 pm, Attendees are also invited to watch a dance demonstration by the Buffalo River Singers and Dancers, highlighting the Waŋna niš niyepi exhibition.
“I am honored to curate and organize such a wonderful art-focused, Indigenous event again this year! Many artists sold out of their artwork by the end of last year’s event, and it’s great to expose the artists to our community and that our community supports the artists,” said Director of Native American Programming, Joseph Williams.
