ICI hosts Indigenous Arts Summer Encounter
The Indigenous Cultures Institute, based in San Marcos, Texas, held its 12th Indigenous Arts Summer Encounter from June 27 through July 2, 2022 at Cuauhtemoc Hall. Local students participated in daily activities that included the history, culture, arts and traditions of the indigenous people of this area. Students learned the Creation Story, about food justice, and engaged in visual arts, music, dance, writing and cooking/nutrition activities. Students were also introduced to the Coahuiltecan language which was spoken by Indigenous ancestors who lived and thrived in this area for over 13,000 years. The event was sponsored by the City of San Marcos Arts Commission, Texas Commission on the Arts, Hays County, Hill Country Alliance, Environmental Defense Fund, and public donations.
