Join us for a FREE celebration with our Indigenous community, featuring food, music, art, and dance representing Indigenous traditions across the world. 

Featured Guests: 

EVAN “BLUE SKY” LOGAN & Group:
A tribal Bear/Thunder (Warrior) clan member of the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin. Through his lifetime he was raised and taught by some of the most key influential people not only within the Ho-Chunk Nation, but throughout Native America. Logan grew up hands on learning the Native way of life. Evan is the 3rd generation out of his family who continues to share and spread awareness of the Native American World and their cultures, along with his family. Today, he continues to be a performer, artist, craftsman, teacher, speaker, activist, entertainer, and singer.

SHAYA SCHREIBER:
A member of the Marten Falls Band of Ojibwe, a First Nation community in Ontario, Canada. She was raised and currently resides in Madison, Wisconsin. At the age of 8 years old, Shaya learned her skills from a family friend and began making regalia, beadwork and moccasins. Today, Shaya has over 16 years of practice and considers her art to be both traditional and contemporary. Growing up, she didn’t get the opportunity to be surrounded by her Ojibwe culture however, as Shaya learned more about her heritage and traditional Art over time, it helped her create connections with other native Artists which gave her the opportunity to pass her knowledge down to the next generation. As a Social worker at an Elementary school, Shaya is able to share Native American art, culture and experiences with her students.
