IndigenousWays Festival, 2024

August 16, Friday
5 - 9 PM MT

The Christopher & Dana Reeves Foundation is dedicated to curing spinal cord injury by advancing research and improving the quality of life for individuals and families impacted by paralysis. Actor, director, and activist are just some of the words used to describe Christopher Reeve. Dana Reeve established the Reeve Foundation’s quality of life initiatives: the Paralysis Resource Center and the Quality of Life Grants program.

August Artists

Founding member of Native American a cappella group, Ulali - Pura Fé (Tuscarora/Taino) headlines our last event. Pure Fé blends her Southern Indigenous influences with her ancestral African soul-filled lineage and continues to reshape performance as ceremony. Native blues virtuoso, Wade Fernandez, (Menominee) lives music and breathes life into under resourced communities with his story telling through songs, and engages audiences of all generations. Opening the evening is Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) graduate, Simona Rael (Latina), who will grace us with her original compositions with family band, and an ensemble of IAIA students modeling her line of fashion designs.
