Bringing cultural awareness and education about Indigenous peoples through a Native American drum and dance performance is the Aspen Indigenous Foundation’s goal in Aspen this weekend, according to organizers.
The hour-and-a-half-long performance begins at 4 p.m. Saturday at Sister Cities Plaza next to Wagner Park. Among the lineup is about eight dancers (including two-time world champion Fancy Dancer Larry Yazzie), a group of four Lakota drummers, and a Ute elder who will bless the community and express gratitude with a prayer in the Ute language.
