The 12th Annual RedCan Invitational Graffiti Jam will take place July 8-11 on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation, bringing nationally recognized muralists, live performances and community art activities to Eagle Butte, according to the Cheyenne River Youth Project. The free event will feature 11 muralists creating public art throughout the community before activities shift to the Waniyetu Wowapi Art Park on July 10-11.

The event will include youth art activities, free spray painting, skateboard painting, hoop dancing classes, poetry, community meals and performances by Murs, Bazille, Reed Two Bulls and the Sampson Brothers, according to the Cheyenne River Youth Project. Opening and closing circles each day will include prayer, smudging and drum songs led by the Wakinyan Maza drum group.

We provide the independent reporting that non-Native, extractive outlets often overlook. We give our communities the context and the facts they need to make informed decisions.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government decision-making for everyone who cares about transparency about Native issues. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise. Every gift helps keep the fire burning. A monthly contribution makes the biggest impact.
