As part of the 2025 Bishop Hill Chautauqua, Jimmy Lakota Edwards will share songs and stories about the Native American history of our area and maybe a social dance. He is a First Nations singer, dancer, and wisdom keeper. His one hour performance will begin at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday August 9 at the Bishop Hill park gazebo.
All of the Chautauqua programs will be held in Bishop Hill’s town park, on the corners of Main Street and Bishop Hill Road, in Bishop Hill, IL. Folks are encouraged to bring a lawn chair and to bring a friend. This free public event is sponsored by the Bishop Hill Heritage Association, Community State Bank, Illinois Arts Council, Geneseo Foundation, Galesburg Community Foundation, and Fox Tales International.
