As RedCan 2021 murals take shape, the Cheyenne River Youth Project offers arts instruction and fun to kids of all ages

As the RedCan 2021 artists completed their massive downtown mural project Thursday (July 8, 2021), Eagle Butte’s young people enjoyed a variety of RedCan-related art activities downtown and in the Cheyenne River Youth Project’s Waniyetu Wowapi (Winter Count) Art Park.

Four- to 12-year-olds had an opportunity to make washer necklaces and washer wind chimes at the 7th Generation Cinema. In the afternoon, these younger children converged on the art park to create “moon sand” while the 100 Horse Society assisted with raising tipis in the park.

Teens congregated in the Cokata Wiconi (teen center) at 2 p.m. for a virtual acrylic muralism workshop. First Peoples’ Fund’s Rolling Rez Arts provided virtual instruction for the workshop via Zoom. Later, Day 2 of RedCan 2021 concluded with a “Relay Field Day” for 4- to 12-year-olds at 4 p.m. in the art park, and a closing drum song and blessing under the Cokata Wiconi canopy at 5:30 p.m.

Also at 2 p.m., young people may take hoop-dancing lessons with the acclaimed Sampson Brothers, who will be performing for the public on the Waniyetu Wowapi Art Park stage at 7 p.m. Saturday.
