Raven Chacon: Three Songs brings together three of Raven Chacon’s projects that pay tribute to Indigenous women through sound, video, and visual work.
This refocusing on female leadership asserts Indigenous women as both keepers of memory and creators of culture. When presented in unison, these works resound the suppressed histories and present-day stories of Native resistance in the face of systemic power.
Cellicion Traditional Dance Group (Zuni Pueblo) will be dancing.
Celebrate the seasonal cycles through prayer, song, and dance with our Cultural Dance Program. Dances connect us to our ancestors, community, and traditions while honoring gifts from our Creator.
