Native American Cultural Presentations with Deitrich Peters
Lebanon Public Library

Join elder Deitrich Peters, a member of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, as he shares about his culture and traditions. Deitrich, also known as “Deitz,” will speak about his regalia, traditional practices, and flute playing. He will also answer questions at the end of the program.

Deitz shares, “I love my culture and traditions—making things with my hands, working with feathers, beadwork, traditional dancing, storytelling, and of course my all-time favorite, flute playing. I have learned these many things from our elders and have been gifted these things by the Creator.”

The Singing Creek Educational Center will also present items of Kalapuya material culture.

This free event is open to all ages and recommended for ages 8 and up. Parents of children under 8 are encouraged to sit near the back in case they need to step out. Older children are welcome to sit on the floor in front if they wish.

Sponsored by the Woodard Family Foundation, the City of Cottage Grove, and participating libraries.
