SUMMARY:Sierra Mono Museum 53rd Annual Indian Fair Days & Pow Wow
DESCRIPTION:Public welcome\, food & craft vendors\, dance competition! \nA Pow Wow\, or cultural celebration\, as it was called in former times\, is a truly family event growing out of the economic\, social\, and cultural experiences of many Native American tribes. Pow Wows allow people to come together to sing\, dance\, make friends\, renew old friendships\, and enjoy arts and crafts. To many people today\, pow wows have spiritual and religious significance. Some people can trace the word “Pow wow” to the Algonquin language\, saying how the Europeans used the word to refer to a council meeting. \nToday\, Pow Wows have become an inter-tribal event and are a time when older customs and ways are brought to the present day and age. It is more than just Indians dancing and singing. These cultural events help to solidify Indian communities as well as provide an opportunity to teach and learn many traditional customs. Pow wows are held throughout the year\, but mainly in the summertime when participants and spectators have more space to explore and practice singing and dancing. \n  \nFor more information: \nPhone: (559) 877-2115 \nEmail: monomuseum@gmail.com

SUMMARY:The McKinnon Family: From Basketry to Bowls
DESCRIPTION:The McKinnon Family: From Basketry to Bowls\nCurated by Dennis McKinnon\nDennis McKinnon\, Yurok\nHonoring Heritage Through Woodworking \nDennis McKinnon is a proud Yurok Tribe member with Tolowa and Yurok ancestry. He spent his early years along the Klamath River on McKinnon Hill and in Klamath\, Ca.\, Del Norte County. \nIn 1962\, the McKinnons moved to Blue Lake\, Ca.\, Humboldt County. Raised by a Yurok father and a Tolowa/Yurok mother\, Dennis grew up immersed in Native culture and community. \nAfter retiring from a federal career in engineering and computer science\, Dennis returned to woodworking – skills taught by his father. Through segmented woodturning\, he creates wood art inspired by traditional Yurok basket designs. \n“I appreciate the role the McKinnon Family has played in preserving the Yurok cultural identity\, and my hope is that my interpretation of this art and craftmanship contributes to that legacy.” – Dennis McKinnon

SUMMARY:Native Story Works
DESCRIPTION:Native Story Works \nAn Afternoon of In-Progress Staged Readings\n \nPresented by the Luke Madrigal’s Indigenous Storytelling Nonprofit\nin partnership with the Dorothy Ramon Learning Center\n\n\nJoin the organization for an afternoon of staged readings from Native artists—writers\, actors\, dancers and musicians. These works-in-progress explore love\, loss\, memory\, and cultural resilience\, honoring the storytelling traditions of Indigenous peoples while forging new paths forward.\n\nTalechasers\nWritten by Renda Dionne MadrigalIn this sci-fi mystery\, a Native mother and her two daughters—each on their own path of longing and loss—leave behind what they thought they wanted to chase something greater: the survival of story itself. Talechasers: Chapter One is the first installment in a sci-fi mystery series featuring Indigenous women reclaiming voice\, memory\, and power through laughter\, legacy\, and a few uncanny visitations. When an artifact\, that was hidden away\, is stolen from their home on the rez\, it unleashes murderous beasts on the land. The family must come together to fulfill the legacy of their late husband and father by forming the Talechasers Alliance\, a storytelling resistance capable of facing forces far beyond their understanding. One that will draw them into a mythic battle that blurs the line between the past and present\, science and myth.\n\nDragonfly\nWritten by Sophia MadrigalThree Native foster siblings face the impossible: the loss of their youngest brother to the system. As they fight to keep him in their home\, they draw strength from the songs and stories of their Cahuilla heritage. Woven into their journey are the ancient Bird Songs\, the voice of their late father through a traditional lullaby\, and the legend of the Dragonfly. This play is a moving meditation on memory\, identity\, and the enduring power of story.Dragonfly bridges the historical trauma of the boarding school era with the present-day foster care system\, reminding us why Native children belong in Native homes.\n\nSkywoman\nWritten by Isabella Madrigal“Skywomen\,” is a multi-media performance piece that explores Anishinaabe and Cahuilla water and migration stories passed down by a mother to her daughter. The play imagines a future where Indigenous peoples\, specifically Indigenous women\, are centered in climate conversations.

SUMMARY:Shuuluk Wechuwvi – Where Lightning Was Born
DESCRIPTION:Indigenous play Shuuluk Wechuwvi: Premiers August 23 in San Diego!\nRooted in elder wisdom\, creation story\, and cultural continuity\, Shuuluk Wechuwvi – Where Lightning Was Born\, presented by the Eyaay Ahuun Foundation\, emerges as a radiant act of resistance and remembrance. This project—part of the KNAPP-Tijuana and Otay River Valley revitalization effort—confronts the decades-long degradation of a region strained by environmental injustice\, economic disinvestment\, and fractured planning. The area continues to suffer from rampant pollution and an unresolved sewage crisis—a crisis exacerbated by cross-border eco-mismanagement and inadequate infrastructure. Despite ongoing negotiations\, binational planning often offers patchwork remedies to what is\, at its core\, a profound public health and ecological emergency. Shuuluk Wechuwvi responds to this crisis not with despair\, but with story. Through the mediums of live performance and visual narrative\, this play and comic seek to illuminate pathways toward collective healing and ecological repair. It is a love letter to the land and the people who refuse to let it be forgotten—calling forth a shared vision that is grounded in culture\, responsive to community\, and brave enough to demand more than short-term solutions. This is not just art—it is a call to action\, a reclamation of narrative\, and a step toward a truly binational\, community-rooted future.

SUMMARY:Rose B. Simpson: LEXICON
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition brings together two seemingly distinct art forms: Pueblo pottery and classic cars. In 2014\, Rose B. Simpson\, a mixed-media artist from Santa Clara Pueblo\, New Mexico\, refurbished a 1985 Chevy El Camino\, transforming it with a black-on-black Tewa pottery motif. Simpson titled her work Maria in honor of renowned artist Maria Martinez (San Ildefonso Pueblo\, 1887–1980)\, who popularized the distinctive black-on-black style. Ten years later\, this exhibition debuts Simpson’s second customized car\, a 1964 Buick Riviera painted in vibrant polychrome. Both cars are presented against an expansive geometric design\, evoking the environment of the Southwest and transforming Wilsey Court into a bold\, contemporary expression of Pueblo pottery traditions. Through this use of scale and space\, Simpson forges connections between the ancestral and contemporary\, and forms a new visual vocabulary\, or lexicon\, to assert her cultural heritage and its continuity.
