Native America Calling: Honoring artists who demonstrate community spirit
Thursday, February 13, 2025

Honoring artists who demonstrate community spirit
A traditional violin maker, a regalia maker, and basket weavers are the six artists chosen for this year’s Jennifer Easton Community Spirit Award winners by the First Peoples Fund.

The art they create tells only a part of their stories, as each helps revive and propel cultural knowledge that is sometimes endangered.

Join Native America Calling to hear from the artists and organizers about their passions for preserving culture and passing it on to future generations.
