Aug 30, 2017: Neshkinukat: One Who Has Relatives – Art Exhibit Reception at Old Town Newhall Library
Aug 30, 2017 06:00 pm
Please join us for a reception for the art exhibit, Neshkinukat: One Who Has Relatives. You’ll have an opportunity to meet the artist while also enjoying light appetizers and live music.

This unique and diverse exhibit of Native art explores the idea of our inter-relationship with the four “relatives” of our human peoples: the Stone People, the Plant People, the Animal People and the Spirit world. Neshkinukat in Luiseno means “One Who Has Relatives.” In Lakota the meaning is “We Are All Related.” Through the art we can see the ways we are inter-connected, and that Spirit resides in all. A variety of mediums will be displayed: ceramics, gourd art, paintings, photographs and mixed media.
