The Zoom Webinar will feature music by Dark Water Rising, an award-winning Native American band, whose familial roots in Southeastern North Carolina, not only define their kinship as a musical group, but also their sound. Lead singer Charly Lowry is an activist for Lumbee and Native American rights and uses music not only to bring attention to the causes she supports, but also to celebrate her cultural background.
