“Living in Two Worlds, New Things Old Ways” – COFAC visiting artist Buck Hitswithastick presents Native Arts and Traditions with Rose Gurule
Please join OIIE and COFAC on Friday, Oct. 21, from 3 to 5 p.m. in the University Union, Room 343, to learn from the Rosenberg Distinguished Resident Guest Artist Buck Hitswithastick and Rose Gurule.
Both artists are leaders in their community in Montana and have a rich history of sharing knowledge of indigenous communities.
Rose is a teacher by trade and works in baskets, medicinal herbs, and traditional ways.
Buck is a musician and dancer. He focuses on tools, drums, games, etc. He is also part of the Oral History Project, where he talks about his band WarCry and how Heavy Metal, as a genre, strengthens Indigenous communities.
Buck is a descendant of the dog soldiers of the Bitterroot Salish people. He is honored to help groups and individuals learn and incorporate the central lesson of the dogs that “Every person has a specific value to the betterment of the whole.”
Rose and Buck will offer a presentation at this open event, including historical images, animated speech, and traditional dress processes. Afterward, an open question and answer session and an outdoor meet and greet (with an indoor weather backup) will be held. Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
