Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians: Cultural Festival

Free admission

Join us for a meaningful cultural experience in partnership with the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians Cultural Affairs Programs. This family-friendly event features live performances, cultural artifact sharing, and engaging discussions centered on Jeffrey Gibson’s Round Dancing.

The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians are descendants of those who resisted relocation during the Trail of Tears, preserving their heritage as a sovereign nation of over 11,000 Tribal members—including artist Jeffrey Gibson. This presentation will explore the deep cultural influences woven into his contemporary work, highlighting its connections to Choctaw traditions.

Come celebrate the richness of Choctaw culture and gain insight into the artistic inspiration behind Round Dancing!
