The National Museum of the American Indian will celebrate its annual Living Earth Festival this weekend, an expression of cultural diversity through musical performances, a Native cooking competition, hands-on workshops, and environmental discussions geared toward raising the profile on current environmental issues.
The two-day festival includes music by Los Angeles Latin Pop performer, Quetzal Guerrero, and Ozomatli, a group that incorporates various musical genres including hip hop, salsa, cumbia, samba and funk.
All performances and activities are free and open to tourists and D.C. locals, alike.
“We are thrilled to offer such a wide range of activities that focus on the environment and highlight different Native American and Latino cultures for the entire family to enjoy,” Carolyn J. McClellan, the museum’s assistant director.
The event will also have “Dinner and a Movie” Friday night with a special à la carte menu offered by the museum’s Mitsitam Native Foods Café. The movie, “Watershed: Exploring a New Water Ethic for the New West,” starts at 7 p.m. at the museum’s Rasmuson Theater.
