Music gets the main stage at this Native festival centered around the water tower in the Santa Fe Railyard. The evening’s events, a collaboration with Lensic 360, include concerts from three Indigenous stars: metal guitarist Sage Bond (Diné), blues rocker Levi Platero (Diné), and Native American Music Award winner Keith Secola (Ojibwe/Anishinaabe).
