Southern Straight Special – Arikara Celebration 2025
My family has come together to host a Southern Straight special in my name at this year’s Arikara Celebration.
As the Head Man Dancer for 2025, I want to personally invite all men’s Southern Straight dancers (18 and older) to join us in White Shield, North Dakota, July 11 to 13.
It means a lot to me that this is happening in my homelands, among my Arikara people, and I carry this honor with gratitude.
In honor of Steven Painte Walker “Red Earth”
Arikara, Hidatsa, and Comanche
Total prize money: $5,100
Details are on the flyer. Looking forward to a weekend of strong songs, good relatives, and powerful movement.
