Understanding Regalia
Bring Native arts, culture, and the stories behind regalia to your school or community.
Led by Native American presenters, Understanding Regalia explores the meaning of dance regalia, shares Powwow etiquette, and encourages cultural appreciation through an engaging educational experience for all ages.
Plan ahead for November 2027
Red Earth is accepting advance requests for Understanding Regalia presentations in November 2027.
Allied Arts has supported this program through grants in multiple previous years, and we hope to receive that support again. Grant funding for November 2027 has not yet been awarded. No-cost presentations will depend on receiving this funding.
Request a tentative presentation date
We are gathering requests early to help schools, organizations, and presenters plan ahead. Requests will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to grant funding and presenter availability. If funding is awarded, the number of no-cost presentations per school or location will be limited so we can reach more organizations.
All requested dates are tentative. Submitting this form does not confirm a booking or guarantee a free presentation. Red Earth will follow up about your request and confirm arrangements once funding and presenter availability are determined.
If requests are full, please check back next year for future sign-up opportunities. Free presentations in any future year will also depend on available grant funding.
