Tribe to share history culture in CdA

The history and culture of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe will be shared through November in a collaboration with the Salvation Army Kroc Center and the Human Rights Education Institute in Coeur d’Alene.

“Our tribe has a deep history in the region and a lot of rich traditions. Most people only see or experience it from afar when they go to Julyamsh,” said Chief Allan, chairman of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe.

Allan encouraged residents to attend a free cultural celebration with storytelling, singing, drumming, dancing, regalia and history at the Kroc Center at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

Other events in November, which is Native American Heritage month, range from cultural demonstrations on crafts to presentations on the tribe’s history, the affects federal policies have had on tribes and tribal economies. Some require registration. The full schedule is at www.kroccda.org/native /SR . More here.
