Awaken to millennia-old cultures
on sacred ground, deep in the ancient San Gabriel
Mountains amid the oaks and cedars that ring
our busy city. The Haramokngna American
Indian Center invites you to share the 3rd annual
Fall Flute Circle Festival, a day of music, song,
dance, and ceremony. This day of sacred
gathering opens with a blessing of the City from
the headwaters of the Arroyo Seco and features
a celebration of the Fall Equinox with the marking
of the sun symbols. Calling on their roots,
Native American and indigenous musicians, singers,
storytellers, and flutists--including the virtuoso Bill “Elkwhistle” Neal--will
come together from many Western Hemisphere tribal
traditions. Their evocative offerings will
rise over the mountains to spread sacred blessings
over the land. In addition, there will
be an open mic; community artists’ booths;
and workshops in making flutes, water drums,
gourd rattles, and clapper sticks.
Presented
by Ne’ayuh, a project of Community
Partners, a permitee of the Angeles National
Forest.
