“I’m excited to be here supporting Indigenous voices, Indigenous talent and Indigenous artists,” Cante Heart, supporter and attendee of Culture Shock, said. “I think it’s important to expose our talent and our voices throughout the Black Hills because this is our original, Oceti Sakowin territory, and this is where we are from. So it’s important to uplift Indigenous voices and talent and artists. So I’m here as a supporter.”
