An afternoon of Native American culture is on tap in Whitewater.
The Whitewater Arts Alliance is hosting a celebration to recognize Native American Heritage Month at the Cultural Arts Center at 402 W. Main St. from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday.
The celebration will feature dancing, music, storytelling and crafts highlighting the vibrancy of Native American culture.
Ho-Chunk Nation storyteller Andi Cloud will lead a beading workshop, and the Iron Bear Singers from Schaumburg, Illinois, will lead a drum circle and dancing.
There will also be an educational component by the Friends of the Effigy Mounds to teach attendees about Whitewater’s 21½-acre Native American effigy preserve.
The friends group hopes to raise $200,000 to go toward restoring the preserve by the end of the year.
