Native American Cultural Presentations
by Deitrich Peters, Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde
Join us as elder Deitrich Peters shares about his culture as a member of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. Deitrich “Deitz” will share about his regalia, his traditions, play flute and answer questions. Deitz says “I love my culture and traditions – making things with my hands, working with feathers, beadwork, traditional dancing, storytelling and of course my all time favorite, flute playing. I have learned these many things from our elders, and have been gifted these things by the Creator.” Singing Creek Educational Center will share items of Kalapuya material culture. This free event is great for ages 8 and up, and is sponsored by the Woodard Family Foundation, the City of Cottage Grove and participating libraries. This is a free event for all ages. kids under 8 years, parents are encouraged to sit where they can easily leave (near the back) if their child gets restless. We allow older kids to sit up front on the floor if they want. In the introduction if you could ask them to please hold their questions to the end (so it's not too disruptive.)
