The Honoring the Heartbeat: Mental Health & Wellness Powwow is this Saturday, May 9! As we prepare to gather in celebration, healing, and community, we’re honored to introduce this year’s Head Dancers, who help lead the powwow circle with knowledge, experience, and heart.
MAYNARD WEBSTER (Latsistaw'^lyehe)
“I attended ICS and began drumming at the age of five, and started dancing at nine. I’ve performed with the Milwaukee Bucks Singers and more recently with the Little Priest Singers. I’ve traveled across the country attending powwows, building connections to the culture and community along the way. I am a Grass Dancer, 36 years old, and proudly Oneida enrolled, with roots in White Earth Ojibwe and Menominee.”
DENISE LOGAN (Hinuk iineki)
“I’m Denise Logan, daughter of Patricia and the late Herman Logan. I am from the Ho-Chunk Nation and was born and raised in Milwaukee. I’ve been dancing since I was a young toddler, and I raised my children around the powwow circle as well. It’s an honor to be chosen as Head Lady Dancer.”
We’re grateful to have these respected dancers help lead this year’s gathering, and we can’t wait to see everyone this Saturday at Wisconsin State Fair Park Expo Center.
