Join us on Saturday, July 12th for a special screening featuring a documentary about a Meskwaki Song Maker, Martel Pushetonequa, and his process and journey for making songs. Martel makes songs for championship drum group Meskwaki Nation.

πŸŽ₯ "I wanted to make a documentary about the art form of composing Native music, and give a look at what it takes to make songs. How songs can make an impact on people's lives, and how important of an art form it is to get people to dance. This is part of a series I am working on to share what pow-wow culture is like to non-native people. The art that goes into song and dance, and how it has evolved throughout the years. My next project is to highlight Meskwaki dancers." - Dawson Davenport
