Fort Ridgely State Park

“As a family, we’re singers and legend-keepers . . .”

… For decades we’ve been promoting the language and culture of the Tribe. Young adults come from other places and say, ‘I’m Tunica-Biloxi, but I don’t know anything.’ My grandmother would say to me, ‘My life is my life, what do you want to know?’ We have to fight; we have to fight for our culture.”

~Donna Pierite, in Project 562 by Matika Wilbur
