SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 14TH, 10-5 PM: THE ART OF STORYTELLING at the La Veta Mercantile
Huajatolla Heritage Foundation proudly presents four incredible artists that each portray the story of Native Americans in their own unique interpretation. Timothy Nevaquaya, Carla Romero, David Behrens and Arthur Short Bull will be showing (and selling) their work. You will be able to meet the artists and learn the understanding and motivation that fuels their creativity. During the day there will be presentations on stage regarding the rich contributions of Native Americans. In addition to his impactful artwork, Timothy Nevaquaya is also recognized as one of the finest Native American flute players in the country and his flute music will be shared during the event. Timothy also will offer a presentation on Native American Weather Prophecy. His wife, Alicia, an environmental lawyer representing tribal interests will present some of the issues she is working with. Alicia is also a Kiowa basket maker and will be doing demonstrations. This promises to be a day of riches and learning. Free. Donations appreciated!
