Dresses are more than simple articles of clothing for Native women – they are aesthetic expressions of culture and identity. Embodying messages about the life of the wearer, dresses offer Native women the opportunity to blend artistic tradition and bold innovation while preparing themselves, their families, and their communities to partake in the “Dance of life.” Presenter Steve Tamayo draws upon his family history as a member of the Sicangu Lakota tribe to share how Native American attire has evolved over the last few hundred years because of eastern influences. His fine arts education (BFA from Singe Gleska University), along with his cultural upbringing, have shaped him as an artist, historian, storyteller and dancer.

Located in Bayliss Park, the farmers market showcases both seasonal and weekly vendors every Thursday evening from 4:30 pm - 7:30 pm. The farmers market also includes wellness activities sponsored by All Care Health Center. Have kids? Not a problem! Along with plenty to do for the adults, there are weekly activities to entertain the kids, sponsored by Centris Federal Credit Union.
The Taco Ride takes place every Thursday evening on the Wabash Trace Nature Trail, from Council Bluffs, Iowa to Mineola, Iowa, and back. The scenic ride is about 20 miles through the Loess Hills and ends with dinner at Tobey Jack's Mineola Steakhouse. The weekly rides take place from when the trail is dry enough in the spring (usually in April or May) until late in the fall (usually until Halloween).
Most riders start at Iowa West Foundation Trailhead Park where parking is available. Slightly more than halfway between the trailhead and Tobey Jack's, many riders will stop at a picnic area, nicknamed Margaritaville, for a quick break and to join in a conversation with fellow bikers or to partake in refreshments they brought with them.
Note: The Taco Ride is a weekly event. It runs every Thursday evening during most of the year, weather permitting. Visit the Taco Ride website, linked below, for event news. For more information about the ride, visit our blog.

Why do we call the river in the middle of the country “Mississippi”? Shouldn’t the name Missouri really carry forward to the Gulf, at least until it meets the Ohio River? Why is the Mississippi River called "Mississippi" instead of something else? Dean Klinkenberg, a St. Louis-based writer of several guide books for the Mississippi Valley and the Frank Dodgy mystery series, will answer the question about how we named (and have tried to rename) our rivers and why it matters.
