A popular annual celebration celebrating those who were here before us is taking place this weekend at the Kuehn Conservation Area.

Dallas County Conservation Museum Curator Pete Malmberg says it’s a chance for everyone to learn more about the Native American tribes in Iowa.

The celebration starts at 3pm Sunday with a grand entry, followed by intertribal drumming, a hoop dance, sharing of the Ioway Nation’s story, a flute concert and bonfire.

The event is free and no registration is required.  Food will be available for purchase with proceeds supporting the annual event.  Attendees should plan to bring their own chairs or blankets for seating.
