Over 60 area young people participated in impromptu stage performance and art creation. Sapulpa Public Schools brought original artwork and came away the winners of the day with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place cash awards. Musical talent from Norman and Stillwater was represented. Parents, friends and relatives brought food (fry bread, beans and homemade fries) that was shared and enjoyed by all. The kids took the stage taking turns at MC and song debuts.
We were honored when Cherokee Hughes, a junior at Sequoyah High, brought artwork by her boyfriend, Derrick Deere, who lost his life in a vehicle wreck a week after his graduation. Derrick was a fine artist. His talent will be remembered.
The pencil drawings shown here were rendered at the event. Thank you for all the help and attendance.

Youth and elder garden growing in Muskogee
Legacy received a grant from the Tides Foundation to expand the garden program started in 2008. Garden director Don Blair leads the planting of a variety of vegetables and fruits with the help of Muscogee Indian Community and tribal youth. Mvskoke language learning is included,taught by mahaya, (teacher) John "Porky" Scott, Jr., a fluent speaker and elder. Artist and executive director, Dana Tiger, helps the young people create "garden art sticks" in colorful paint designs with garden words written in the Mvskoke and Cherokee languages that will be placed next to the plants for identification. "This is a fun colorful artistic way to learn the language while growing food." Dana says.

Legacy youths dedication to art rewarded
Roxanne Harmon, senior at Sequoyah High School, recently won two first place awards at the Tulsa Indian Arts Festival, with a colored pencil work and a Cherokee basket. She was also awarded a 500 dollar scholarship to pursue her education. We wish to congratulate this hardworking teen who represents what "honoring our legacy" is all about!
Grant for art building completion
Cherokee Nation gave just over 8,000 dollars for materials needed to ready the Park Hill, Legacy Art Center, for use. Beginning in February the Legacy community will start hammering, putting up insulation and installing appliances to prepare the building for classes in art and cultural learning. If you would like to donate time or resources call Tiger Art Gallery 918-687-7006.

Over 40 community members came out to the Park Hill Legacy site to camp the first weekend in October. Weather was great, food was terrific, (thanks to our fabulous friend Pam Iron) teaching of crafts by adults and youth alike was the best! We could tell because no one wanted to leave on Sunday...even though it started raining!

Getting Back to the Art
Dana Tiger is heading back to the art table. She will be painting never before seen images in hopes of many sales at her next show, Red Earth.
My time has been devoted to producing the first annual Legacy Youth Festival in the month of May. My passion is my Legacy organization, however my economic situation calls out for me to stir my creative forces to action. I can do this!
I'm striving for health, clarity and momentum as I approach the place where I paint.
