2007 has been a great year for Red Earth. The Red Earth’s museum’s Dupree Cradleboard Collection has been redesigned with new backdrops and lighting. We offer the area’s only collection of Totem Poles. The Red Earth museum is currently showcasing two new exhibits. “Moving the Fire: The Removal of Indian Nations to Oklahoma” exhibit tells a compelling story about the aftermath of the “Trail of Tears”. The Eagle in Native American Art & Culture” features paintings, sculptures and pottery by various contemporary artists. The eagle is a significant symbol of power and is revered in the Native American culture.
The 2007 Red Earth Festival will be held June 1-3 at the Cox Convention Center located in downtown Oklahoma City. This is one of the largest Native American cultural events that include a parade, juried fine art competition for youth and adults, art market, dance competitions, and a 5k run/walk.
