On Sunday, June 29, 2025, Michael Wanbdi Gdeska O’Connor (Spotted Eagle) will present “Relation with Creation,” a way of looking at everything as a relation and creating a way of life. Admission is free with a reception to follow.
Lakota/Dakota/Nakota people have a way of life that connects closely with all of creation, all of Mother Nature, and all beings that exist on Grandmother Earth and in the sky world. They refer to all of these members of creation as relatives. As they are seen as relatives, they are treated as such. O’Connor will also share about the sacred way of what is commonly referred to as smudging, about the importance of eagle feathers, and of prayer and the use of the drum and prayer song.
