Indigenous Peoples’ Day with Cherokee Educator, Lianna Constantino
Oct 8 @ 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Dreaming Stone Arts and Ecology Center

Dreaming Stone Arts and Ecology Center warmly invites you to join us for this free introductory event and learn about Cherokee history and culture. This event is in honor of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, celebrated on October 10, 2022. We will gather at 382 Pleasant Hill Rd., Rutherfordton, NC 28139, Saturday, October 8, 2022, from 3:00-6:00pm and will include snacks and time for connection.

Dreaming Stone AEC is excited to invite Cherokee educator, Lianna Costantino, to present for this community learning event. Lianna is a tribal citizen of the Cherokee Nation Of Oklahoma and a storyteller. Working with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, Lianna served as the Chair for the Center for Native Health, Inc. and the Chair of the Cherokee Healing and Wellness Coalition.

By attending, participants will learn about the indigenous people whose story is a part of this land. We will hear an indigenous perspective on the honoring of Indigenous People’s Day and consider various steps in the journey of native solidarity.

Please visit: https://dreamingstone.org/events/indigenous-peoples-day-oct-8th/ to RSVP as space is limited to 30 participants.

Dreaming Stone Arts and Ecology Center (DSAEC) builds skills and strategies for community resilience and the restoration of biological and cultural diversity. DSAEC is a creative laboratory, learning center, farm, an experiment in regenerative landcare, place of art and ceremony, and community space for healing. We are actively developing skills for creating a just and restorative culture and gather in service to our watershed, in honor of our ancestors, and on behalf of future generations. We weave arts and ecology to foster diversity, build reciprocity with the land, promote spiritual connection, and propagate sustainable futures.
