One of Native America’s biggest festivals returns to Oklahoma City June 10-12 for its 30th anniversary. This year’s Red Earth Festival, celebrating Native American art and dance, may be the biggest yet. The Cox Convention Center will be home to the three-day celebration.

“The Red Earth Festival highlights the cultures that make Oklahoma unique,” says Eric Oesch, deputy director of Red Earth Inc., the festival’s primary sponsor. “There are 39 federally recognized tribes with headquarters within our state’s borders. That’s more than any other state in the nation.”

Around 26,000 people attended last year’s festival. This year, Oesch expects 30,000. More than 1,200 American Indian artists, dancers and singers from around the nation will converge on this year’s show, making Oklahoma City American Indian headquarters for three days.

“Each tribal nation works diligently to keep their languages and historical customs alive and vibrant,” Oesch says. “Native cultures aren’t just in the history books. They are living and vibrant cultures of today.”

The Red Earth Festival was named by USA Today as one of the top 10 of its kind in the nation. It has won numerous awards and draws guests from around the world.

“I show in Santa Fe and New York,” Choctaw painter Dylan Cavin says. “The Red Earth festival easily competes with those types of shows in sales and attendance.”

Guests will be able to view the work of some of the country’s most celebrated American Indian artists. They’ll be selling contemporary and traditional examples of beadwork, basketry, jewelry, pottery, sculpture and paintings.

“Oklahoma’s Native American art is very diverse,” Oesch says. “When people think of New Mexico or Arizona Native art, they immediately think of beautiful jewelry and black pottery. Oklahoma’s Native art is more diverse because our Native tribes come from all parts of the country.”

While a number of the country’s top Native American artists will be showing at the festival, it’s far more than just an art show. Red Earth’s dance competition is a breathtaking kaleidoscope of colors featuring hundreds of Native American dancers in their distinctive tribal dress. The competition is one of the most prestigious in the nation.

Red Earth opens with a spectacular parade on the morning of Friday, June 10. The streets of downtown Oklahoma City will brim with Native American pride, featuring tribal members from around the country, many in their tribes’ distinctive regalia.

A sunrise breakfast on Saturday gives visitors the opportunity to quiz a panel of Native American jewelry makers about the craft and how to find good examples of it. It’s a new addition to the festival that has both jewelry makers and collectors excited.

Lots of Oklahomans have Native American art on hand that they’ve picked up but don’t know much about. On Sunday afternoon, visitors will be treated to an “Ask the Experts” panel modeled after the popular Antiques Roadshow. While the experts won’t be appraising items, visitors will be able to learn if the items are authentic, where they come from and their significance. Guests can bring up to three items, and the event is free with admission.

“Many of the tribes in Oklahoma were relocated from different parts of the country. What we do at the festival is celebrate that diversity,” Oesch says. “When you come to the festival, where we have so many Oklahoman artists, their artwork reflects their tribal heritage. The diversity at the festival is totally unique.”

[dropcap]The[/dropcap] Brady District springs to life each June with the sights, sounds and soul of the Juneteenth celebration. This year will likely be no exception with the packed weekend of events focusing on the theme “Heritage through Music and Art.”

“This year’s theme derived from an unprecedented alliance of multiple community organizations working together to commemorate Juneteenth,” says event spokesperson Rebecca Marks Jimerson. “For the past two years, I have coordinated the event for the Martin Luther King Commemoration Society at Guthrie Green. Pleas Thompson, the president of MLK, had a vision to unify the event, and this year it is a reality.”

Juneteenth, or Freedom Day, dates back to 1865 and celebrates the emancipation of African-American slaves in the Confederate South. The word comes from the combination of June and nineteenth, the day the news of their freedom finally reached the slaves in Texas. The announcement was made in Galveston, Texas by Union General Gordon Granger, who had traveled with federal troops to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation – two years after it went into effect. The annual event is the oldest holiday commemorating the end of slavery in America. Today, Juneteenth is a celebration of human rights and an opportunity for everyone to reflect, rejoice and remember.

“We commemorate the celebration of Juneteenth and the healing of the wounds endured by the 1921 race riot in our city,” Jimerson says. “The message must resonate for the call for equality of rights for all human beings. The past two years, the Tulsa community has embraced the celebration of Juneteenth immensely. Thousands have attended at the Guthrie Green. We have witnessed diverse community audiences and stage participation.”

The 2016 event runs from Thursday, June 16 through Sunday, June 19. It kicks off at the Guthrie Green with a showing of The Real Juneteenth, a documentary about the history and perception of the holiday. The following night there will be a jazz and blues tribute concert for Wayman Tisdale. Tisdale grew up in Tulsa and was recruited to play basketball at the University of Oklahoma, where he was named All American three years in a row. He went on to have a successful music career as a jazz bass guitarist. Mike Fields, Jeremy Thomas, Eldridge Jackson and Julian Vaughn will all perform in memory of Tisdale, who passed away in 2009.

On Saturday, Living Arts of Tulsa will present GAGE & NOIRE II, a showcase of spoken word, fashion, music and visual art that incorporates the history of the holiday and its enduring message of freedom and unity. Later that night, there will be a concert featuring Wise Men and Koolie High, Brandy and Soul Element, Val & Wall Street, and the All Star Band.

The four-day celebration also includes an exhibit at the Woody Guthrie Center and tours at the John Hope Franklin Reconciliation Park. The event concludes on Sunday with a gospel brunch.

“The summer’s events demonstrate a coming together of a diverse group of organizations lifting up the call through music and art for human rights equality intended for all God’s people,” says Jimerson.

[dropcap]Road[/dropcap] cycling has taken hold of Oklahoma – and what better way to experience everything that our great state has to offer than from the saddle of a bike? Although we definitely want to extend kudos to the hardcore, year-round cyclists, it appears that the month of June has come to be the Sooner State’s most popular cycling month – primarily for the somewhat mild temps and predictable weather conditions. Regardless of skill level, body type or age, there are a variety of scheduled events providing two-wheeled fun and fitness for all. It’s prime time for cycling in this neck of the woods – so saddle up!

Saint Francis Tulsa Tough

The much-anticipated Saint Francis Tulsa Tough will take over downtown Tulsa June 10-12. The three-day weekend cycling festival includes criterium races for both amateurs and pros, noncompetitive Gran Fondo rides and a family-friendly Townie Ride. Tulsa Tough strives to deliver the full riding experience to everyone – from training wheels to racing rims.

Tulsa Tough began in 2006. “At that time I had been involved in the running and cycling community as both a participant and organizer of local events,” says Malcolm McCollam, executive director of Tulsa Tough. “Because of that prior experience, I was one of the people who became involved in creating this new concept.”

Each year, Tulsa Tough has grown in size and popularity and is now known across the state, across the nation and beyond as a prime racing opportunity for competitive cyclists and professional teams.

Twenty-year-old Skyler Mackey of Tulsa is currently on the road to a future as an elite, professional cyclist.

“My father was the one who got me into cycling seven years ago,” Skyler says. “After racing mountain bikes for a few years, another one of Tulsa’s elite cyclists, Bryan DuVall, told me to go out and watch Tulsa Tough. After watching the races, I knew that I had to race road – and Tulsa Tough. This started me on the path to where I am today.”

“I have not raced all that long – going on six years, and it started with the mountain bike,” says Skyler’s father, Brian Mackey, adding that it was Skyler’s fault that he got into racing in the first place. “I was not about to sit and do nothing at the races while he raced!”

“I must say that, at first, I couldn’t have cared less about Tulsa Tough. I was a mountain biker that really did not like the idea of a road bike,” says Brian, who is now a Category 3 Masters racer. “If my son, Skyler, never got me to go and watch with him, I can say that I would have missed out on some of the best times I have had racing my bike – I race all three days now.”

Proud father Brian has this to say about son Skyler: “Work ethic – this kid has had it since he threw his leg over the bike. No matter the conditions outside or the roadblocks put in front of him, he is sticking to his plan. He has had to make sacrifices to get where he is now. Seeing him surpass me on the bike has been a true treasure.”

Skyler says that professional cycling takes sacrifice and major dedication. His goal is to race Paris-Roubaix, a professional road race in northern France, and to be able to make a living racing his bike.

In addition to the races, Tulsa Tough offers the popular Gran Fondo – two challenging days of noncompetitive, fully supported, tour-style rides with three distances to choose from, 35 to 100 miles in length. All routes explore Tulsa and the surrounding rural areas, finishing each day at the heart of downtown just in time for the criterium races.

Sharon Johndrow is a four-year veteran of Tulsa Tough and a member of the Saint Francis Tulsa Tough Divas, a noncompetitive, women’s cycling team.

“Three years ago, Divas was started to coincide with Tulsa Tough as a way to draw attention to women’s cycling,” Johndrow says. “It is a program where the common goal is cycling, but more so for women to support each other in other ways too.”

The Divas will participate in the Gran Fondos on Saturday and Sunday. “I will participate in the Medio, which is approximately 66 miles,” Johndrow says.

“In 2015, we had nearly 3,000 total participants from 41 states and 14 countries. We hope to continue growing those numbers,” McCollam says. “2015 was a pivotal year for us as we produced a second event, the Cyntergy Hurtland, and took steps to expand our activities beyond event production to youth programming, promotion of a public bike sharing network and development of a concept for a world class cycling facility in Tulsa.”

Not only does Saint Francis Tulsa Tough guarantee a weekend of fun for both riders and spectators, it has a significant impact on the city’s economy. According to McCollam, “The last study we conducted was in 2013 and, at that time, the economic impact was conservatively estimated at $1.5 million.”

Saint Francis Tulsa Tough is produced by Tulsa Tough Inc., a non-profit 501(c)(3) with the support of local corporations and foundations. Guidance for the event comes from an executive committee made up of area cyclists and business people.

“Our mission is to elevate the profile of Tulsa and promote active lifestyles,” explains McCollam. “The event benefits all of Tulsa and its citizens by promoting a positive image of the community to those outside Oklahoma.”
