"Forget the Cowboys, We'll Take the Indians": The Red Earth Festival Movement, 1985-1987

Article detailing the Red Earth Festival Movement (1985-1987) that led to the festival's inception. The festival owes its genesis to the dedication of a small cadre of local civic, arts, and political leaders who envisioned a multi-tribal exposition of American Indian dance, arts, and crafts. Since its inception in 1987 the Red Earth Festival has become a staple of Oklahoma City's tourism scene.
