Indigenous Healing Festival
|
The 2nd annual Indigenous Healing Festival, held on April 13
th
, 2019, was produced in conjunction with Indigenous Solutions Inc. at the IAIA Performing Arts Center.
With over 150 visitors in attendance on the IAIA campus, Healers from plethora of disciplines included such favorites as
Veronica Iglesias
(Nahua) traditional Mexican healer;
Soriba Fofana,
West African drummer & dancer;
Arnold Herrera
, Cochiti Pueblo storyteller & drum maker; and many more who gathered with other Indigenous healers to treat, engage, and perform with IAIA students and Santa Fe community neighbors. IAIA's own
Dal’ Suhu “Star” Not-Afraid
(
Hopi/Crow/Navajo/Zuni/Laguna/Oglala-Lakota)
wrapped up the six hour event sharing Hopi knowledge on sounds’ impact upon our bodies and the earth. Following his musical performance he facilitated a community jam that brought in students and Santa Feans alike to drum, sing, and celebrate with dance. The message of the event was “we are all related” and proved true through the mantra that
performance heals!
