I’m honored to serve as Head Man Dancer at the 2025 Arikara Celebration in White Shield, ND. It’s happening the second weekend of July, and everyone is invited to come celebrate with the Sahnish people.

On Saturday night, I’ll host a Men’s Southern Straight Special (poster with details coming soon). That same day, my grandfather Orville “Buddy” Painte’s flag will be flown in his honor.

Come join us. All are welcome.
