At the center of this year’s event is Nan Blassingame, a citizen of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma. Renowned for her captivating buckskin dance performances, Blassingame
is not only a gifted dancer but also a Cedar Park-based fashion designer and cultural educator.
With over two decades of experience, she has become a vital force in preserving and promoting Native American heritage through design, performance, and outreach. Her designs have also been featured at New York Fashion Week.
Guests will dine under the stars with a meal catered by Pecan House Grill, featuring a menu rooted in Native American culinary traditions. The evening also includes both silent and live
auctions, each packed with hand-selected treasures and one-of-a-kind experiences. From weekend getaways to artisan-crafted goods, the auctions offer something for every enthusiast
while directly supporting the project.
