Dee-ni’ Day is Coming, September 10th – Traditional Volunteers Needed!

The audio version of this story, as was made for air on KFUG Community News. Report by Persephone Rose. Song used is a Tolowa Dee-ni’ Gambling song performed by Loren Bommelyn, Carl James, Sam Lopez, Walter Richards, Sr., & Frederick Scott, Jr.

The Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation is excited to announce that they are planning for this year’s Dee-ni’ Day! Save the date – Saturday, September 10th from 10:00am – 4:00pm at the Howonquet Hall Community Center at 101 Indian Ct in Smith River. All are invited to the family-friendly event, which will involve food and craft vendors, cultural demonstrations, indigenous work shows, gambling, touch-a-truck, stick games, and much, much more!

Official flier from the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation.

This is the 15th annual Dee-ni’ day—a day to celebrate the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation’s people and culture. Originating from their own take on the “Indian Day” observances you may find on the calendar, like October 1st, or the more formally worded Native American Heritage Day, November 25th. These days, different as they are across the nation for the various peoples who celebrate them, have evolved with the modern day cultures of the tribe, a demonstration that these tribes are still here. Honoring this day as their own, Dee’ni Day has become a sort of fair—a cultural carnival of delights where crafts, food, and games are shared with everyone who wishes to partake, whether they are a member of the tribe or not.

To fulfill their hopes on this year’s decade and a half milestone, the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation is seeking people to fill various roles. These roles include a traditional salmon cooks to assist with the 5:30pm dinner and a traditional sand bread cook to assist throughout the day (all tools and ingredients provided, just requiring the hands to work them.) They are also a seeking a stick game organizer to organize a stick game tournament and/or scrimmage, including coordination with Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation Staff on development of gameplay rules that will be applied to various ages and brackets.

The full, original posting on the Tolowa Dee’ni Nation’s website.

For more information on any of these roles, and to reach out if you’re interested, visit the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation’s website under this bid posting.

Please save the date and join the tribe for this family-friendly event! You can visit their website for more information, to fulfill roles, or to sign up as a vendor at this year’s Dee-ni’ Day, all, once more, at tolowa-nsn.gov.
