Tokeya Waci U (Comes Dancing First) will be the June artist at the Schoolhouse Art Gallery. His show is a modern look into what has always been. Tokeya Waci U describes his work as a reflection of modern style Native American Ledger art and he traditionally uses its main purpose of having a visual reference to reflect the teachings that one would hear from their elders. He is a member of the Oglala Lakota and Haliwa-Saponi tribes. Tokeya Waci U said “My inspiration comes from old teachings from childhood stories that I’ve either read in books or have been told by elders in my tribe(s).” A reception and program, free and open to the public, will be held Friday, June 5, at 6:00 pm at the Schoolhouse Art Gallery, 427 Main Street in Brownville. The show ends on June 28 with open hours Thursday, Friday, and Sunday from noon to 4:00 pm and 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on Saturdays or by appointment. Sponsored by Brownville Fine Arts Association, 402-414-2082.
