Kristian and Ruthie first met each other in the Danish folk music circles in the mid-1990’s, where Ruthie had been touring regularly and grown a reputation as a well-renowned artist and fiddler since the early 1980’s. Later when Kristian was a music student, Ruthie was guest-teaching at the Carl Nielsen Academy of Music in Odense, Denmark and Kristian made sure to take the opportunity to study with her while she was there. About ten years later, they met again in and around Seattle when Kristian had started touring and performing in the USA. They formed the trio “3 Fiddlers 3 Traditions” with Métis fiddler Jamie Fox and have continued to meet and play together ever since. This summer marks a new chapter in their collaboration and friendship as they will be touring and recording as a duo the first time; excitement is running high!

O’Connor is an enrolled member of the Ihanktonwan Oyate (Yankton Sioux Tribe). He is a graduate of Sinte Gleska University. He grew up in both South Dakota and Sioux City and has a very personal and spiritual connection to the Sioux City community and its area lands and rivers.

Heading Out: A Walk in Poetry

On Sunday, July 6, 2025, at 2:00pm, the Betty Strong Encounter Center welcomes Nancy Lael Braun who will share “Heading Out: A Walk in Poetry.” No admission charge, but freewill donations encouraged.
Braun says that the idea of heading out can apply to a walk in the physical world or a journey of spiritual introspection and discovery or an act of uprooting one’s life to pursue a new direction.
She will be reading poetry from three collections: The poems of Heading Out spring from the simple activity of walking, which the poet says, “has saved her and formed her and given her gifts beyond measure.” The unsentimental poetry in her second collection A Puddle as Big as the Yard was inspired by watching a child grow and the experience of being a grandparent. The third poems in Fasting Slowly reflect a self-examination sparked by the spiritual practice of fasting with honesty, questioning, and humor.
Braun is a life-long Midwesterner, currently splitting her time between Lone Tree, Iowa, and Sioux City, Iowa. Her poems have appeared in Aquifer: Florida Review Online, Barbaric Yawp, Big Muddy, Briar Cliff Review, Iowa City: Poetry in Public, Passager, Pasque Petals, Persimmon Tree, and TSR: The Southampton Review.

Film Premiere of Big Medicine: York Outdoors
2025-07-13 14:00 - 15:00
On Sunday, July 13, 2025, at 2:00pm join us for a premiere showing of Big Medicine: York Outdoors.

The film was produced by Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail in partnership with NEW Multimedia. No admission charge, but freewill donations encouraged.
Big Medicine: York Outdoors explores the untold story of York, the only African American member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Enslaved by Captain William Clark, York did not choose to be part of this journey, yet his significant contributions as a hunter, guide, caretaker, and intermediary in interactions with Tribal Nations are chronicled in the journals of Expedition members as well as in accounts from the tribes they met along the way. The Arikara tribe referred to him as Big Medicine for his strength and the color of his skin.
This film follows eight educators and environmental stewards as they retrace York’s steps on a four-day river trip along the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument. On their journey to revive York’s story, they explore themes of recreation access for people of color, and the joy and healing that the outdoors can provide.
Big Medicine: York Outdoors is an opportunity to reflect on history, honor York’s legacy, and recognize the connections between community, nature, and personal growth.
