An enrolled member of the Umatilla Tribe from the northeastern Oregon territory, Acosia Red Elk is a renowned performing artist and Jingle Dancer who has won ten world championships at the Gathering of Nations, the largest powwow on the continent. In her return to Jacob’s PIllow, she will perform an evening-length work featuring Native violinist Geneviève Gros-Louis.

In addition to tribal dance performance, she is known for public speaking and storytelling, teaching fitness through a tribal lens, and instructing powwow dance to tribal youth across Turtle Island.
