    Choir exercises body, mind, and spirit. Enhances your vocal fluency and keeps your voice young and flexible. Engages deep listening. Improves posture and lung capacity. Calms and focuses the mind (you won't have time for any other worries during rehearsal). Gives you the best seat in the house for the children's moment. And occasionally puts you smack in the middle of a masterpiece!

  • A Prophetstown Fundraising Dinner - Fellowship Hall/Kitchen

    Friday, September 4, 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
    We will be serving a dinner of traditional native foods followed by a discussion about native seed saving and foodways! Join us at this fundraiser to help raise money for the Prophetstown Planting Project. Read more about the project and the Indigenous Studies Planning Committee's involvement below.

    The Indigenous Studies planning committee is helping the Shawnee Seed Sanctuary meet its fundraising goal of $25,000 for the Prophetstown Planting Project. $5,000 covers expenses left from the planting event in June, and $20,000 is budgeted for harvest festival expenses in November.
    Equipment, supplies, and field needs for seed harvest and storage are part of the fall expenses. However, the greater expense comes from providing travel and lodging stipends to bring members of the 15 tribes forming the Prophetstown Alliance back to Indiana for the first time in over 200 years.
    Tribal descendants of the Prophetstown Alliance will return to harvest seed at Prophetstown State Park. The Shawnee Seed Sanctuary hopes the corn harvest celebrations will rekindle the fire of old relationships and restore the Prophetstown Alliance as a large seed-saving and seed trading network. Restoring the bonds of mutual aid among Native American tribes is more important now than ever as all nations see their Elders and seed keepers dying out, their youth ignorant of cultural ceremonies, and their languages and cultures being lost.
