From kindergarten to the university-level, Redhawk creates and presents educational programs in the tri-state area. Participants enjoy a unique opportunity to address prior notions they may have had about Native Peoples. As a result of our work with various educational institutions, we foster awareness about the need for an accurate curriculum, and provide economic opportunities for individual Native American artists and performers. We are also proud of our collaborative efforts with corporations and government organizations. A few companies that we work with include AT&T, Prudential Insurance, Verizon, J.P. Morgan Chase, Lucent Technologies, Viacom, the United States Postal Service, and others. We assist in providing cultural diversity programming to accurately represent contemporary Native Americans.

Native American Heritage Celebrations

Redhawk hosts four of the largest Native American Heritage Celebrations in the Lower Hudson Valley. Visitors enjoy Native food, music, dance, crafts, art and traditions. Annually our events include over 1000 Native American artists, performers, and educators from across the Americas and provide a venue for cross-cultural interaction, and the survival of Native American traditions.

Native Outreach and Cultural Preservation

Redhawk plays and important role in the local Native community by providing economic opportunities for performers, artists, and educators. We provide contracts to individual artists for presentations to schools and corporations. Our Heritage Celebrations provide hundreds of Native Americans who travel far and wide with the opportunity to showcase and sell their works and wares.
