November 3, 2024
Join the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts & Culture and the National Park Service’s George Washington Memorial Parkway as we honor the culture and history of Native Americans with the presentation of Tribal Voices: A Native American Heritage Celebration on Sunday, November 3, 2024 from 1pm to 4pm in the Park’s historic Bumper Car Pavilion.
Part of the Partnership’s Diverse Voices event series that amplifies the stories of diverse and often-underrepresented groups, Tribal Voices is the first Native American cultural showcase at the Park. (Last year’s Diverse Voices event honored the Glen Echo Park’s civil rights story and celebrated Juneteenth.) This year’s event will feature live performances, storytelling, and artistic activities with opportunities for audience participation.
The FREE event includes:
• a performance by Piscataway Nation Singers & Dancers, who present a colorful, educational, and entertaining “pow wow-style event featuring American Indian Dance, Drum & Song,” carrying on the long-standing traditions, culture, and heritage of their indigenous ancestors;
• a solo performance of Blues, Jazz and Soul music by Carly Harvey, an Eastern Band Tsalagi and Tuscarora descendant and the originator of “Native Scat,” an improvisational fusion of a traditional Jazz scat with Native vocables;
• a presentation by Native America’s Protectors, who will perform and share the origin/history of various dance styles, including Men’s Eastern Woodland, Women’s Eastern Woodland, Women’s Blanket, Hoop Dance, Modern Dance, and Men’s Eastern Style;
• artisan demonstrations of leather and bead work and artwork for sale;
• and drop-in artistic activities throughout the day.
The National Park Service will provide interpretive information and their Junior Ranger program will be available throughout the event. In addition, the event includes food trucks specializing in Native American cuisine and other cuisine.
