In the Chickasaw language, lowak sho'li means “to carry the fire.” This is an annual forum to encourage First American youth and college students to pursue a career in arts and humanities. Panelists are chosen based on their unique perspectives as First Americans and expertise in their respective fields.
This year, panelists include Dustin Mater, Nikki Willis, Abby Gaines and Zach Garcia. Moderator for the forum is Corey King.
The event will take place at the Chickasaw Nation Community Center, located at 700 N. Mississippi Ave. in Ada, Oklahoma.
