All are welcome to join the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes and the Teton Creek Corridor Collaborative for a dedication ceremony of Derek No-Sun Brown’s sculptures along the Teton Creek Corridor. Members and elders of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribe will lead the dedication and blessing of the art installation. Attendees are encouraged to bring a sack lunch and join us at noon for a picnic after the ceremony.
Created by Derek No-Sun Brown, the permanent art installation includes Pisha Pakwi [Bannock] and Tsaa Painkwi [Shoshone] (Trout), Weda’a (Bear), and Patehecha [Bannock] and Pateheya [Shoshone] (elk). No-Sun was commissioned by the Teton Creek Collaborative for the installation.
Derek No-Sun Brown is from the Shoshone-Bannock, Klamath, and Anishinabe people. He was raised on the Boise Fort Reservation in northern Minnesota and the Fort Hall Indian Reservation in Idaho.
The Teton Creek Corridor Collaborative is a partnership effort of four local nonprofits and key community members bringing together their diverse skills to carry out a high-impact, community conservation project along Teton Creek, just outside of Driggs, Idaho. Collaborative partners include Friends of the Teton River, Teton Regional Land Trust, Teton Valley Trails and Pathways, and Valley Advocates for Responsible Development. The Teton Creek Corridor includes permanent land protection, a recreational trail, stream restoration, education and art installations for the community to enjoy.
