The Indigenous Cultures Institute, in partnership with the city of San Marcos, is hosting an event that honors and shares the cultural heritage of Native Americans indigenous to Texas and northern Mexico.
Elders and youth will gather at the historic Spring Lake site in San Marcos to share stories, songs, dances and teachings passed down through generations.
This free two-hour public event will feature storytelling of the Coahuiltecan Creation Story by Elder, Dr. Mario Garza, who will explain the significance of the cultural history of Spring Lake and its importance to local Native peoples. Traditional powwow dancers will perform and share the meaning behind the dances, regalia and songs. Local Indigenous youth will also share songs and teachings from their culture.
