The Bayou Lacombe Museum will host its seventh annual Native American Heritage Celebration with cultural demonstrations, crafts, food and live performances on the weekend of Nov. 1-2 in Lacombe. This free, family-friendly weekend will honor Native American history and traditions.
Events are scheduled at the museum and the Bayou Buchokwa Garden in the adjacent Lacombe Park, weather permitting, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, at 61100 N. 12th St. and 61115 S. Mary St.
The event will focus on cultural education and the community’s connection to the land by its original stewards, the Native American people.
Activities will include tours of the Three Sisters Garden and the Medicine Wheel Garden; live cooking demonstrations featuring traditional dishes; herbal medicine talks and plant walks led by local Native herbalists; tastings of Indigenous foods and sharing of seasonal recipes; and a variety of family activities and cultural displays.
