Sinixt singer-songwriter Tony Louie presents an evening of live music, spoken word poetry, and Sinixt language. Rooted in Sinixt identity and territory, this performance will center land-based storytelling, cultural resurgence, and the revitalization of Indigenous voice through artistic expression. This event is a fundraiser for the Inchelium Cultural Research Center, a largely-Sinixt archive and library working to regain and preserve Sinixt cultural heritage. A panel discussion will follow the event.
