“While art may be a window to the soul that created it, Native American art can be a window to the soul of a nation, reflected through the visions of one of its people.
The annual Dakota Homecoming gives the community an opportunity to connect with descendants of the area’s original inhabitants, but a special art show held in conjunction with it will take that connection a step deeper.
Slated to open June 5 at the Blue Heron Gallery and Studio, Honoring Our Women will showcase the work of four acclaimed Native American artists, all women, and all extraordinary at conveying the heartbeat of the Indian nations they come from.
In its sixth year, the Dakota Homecoming will honor women as a theme throughout its festivities, scheduled for June 6 and 7 at Unity Park.”
