S.D. (Dakota News Now) – Four years ago, the Levitt welcomed ‘All My Relatives’. While there are many things to see and do that day, one passion of a local designer stands out – from concept to the sewing machine and onto the runway
“The All My Relatives, Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ, Mitakuye Owas’iƞ. It’s a celebration in many forms. Then we can get art involved, music involved,” said Kyrie Dunkley, creator of Shinin Star Style
Part of the day showcases several designers across the region. Dunkley has been there from the start
Wearing Native American-inspired pieces doesn’t have to look traditional
“You know, ribbon on everyday streetwear attire. It’s changed, but we’ve also held on to a piece of our past, too. And we carry it with us, and we do it with pride,” said Dunkley
As for what the future looks like? Dunkley has one word: representation
“Modern-day natives—not just your 1800s natives—but your everyday Native American. What that could be like, and not just one image,” said Dunkley
‘All My Relatives’ is August 29, starting at 10 a.m. and going into the night. For more information about the event, click here
