Annual Meeting

80th Plains Conference Rapid City, South Dakota October 18-21, 2023 Holiday Inn, Rushmore Plaza

The 80th Annual PAC logo is a 2017 painting created by Oglala/Sicangu artist, Martin Red Bear. Red Bear’s art and this piece, entitled “Stars,” is inspired by his culture and contemporary societies. An adjunct instructor for Oglala Lakota College, Red Bear works in acrylic, watercolor, and mixed media on canvas, paper, and tanned hides. He resides in Rapid City with his wife, Ida Red Bear. The 2023 Conference hosts were inspired by Red Bear’s art and its powerful combination of traditional Native American iconography and contemporary Great Plains cultural expression.
