"Other Steps, Another Time: Garland Native American Awareness Day" set for March 7
Long before our community's founding on the banks of Duck Creek, other feet have trod upon our soil. "Other Steps, Another Time: Garland Native American Awareness Day" on from 10-4 on March 7 at the Plaza Theatre will inform about the First American presence tied to our area and surrounding areas and relate the rich history and culture of Native American peoples.
It includes two feature-length films, speakers on tribal history, dance demonstrators in traditional dress, feather painting, a food truck featuring Indigenous and other cuisine, Native American artifacts, and an original dramatic dialogue/music presentation about one family's experience with the Removal when First Americans left behind ancestral lands.
It is sponsored by Friends of Garland's Historic Magic 11th Street and Garland Public Libraries and funded in part by a grant from the Garland Cultural Arts Commission. Free and open to the public.
