Hey Santa Fe-this Sunday come check out a free Piano/Vocal Workshop Reading of “Little Ones”, a New Comedic Opera by Native American Artists, to Be Presented in Santa Fe at The CCA at 2pm

As we close out the year, we’re holding so much gratitude.

This year, Little Globe witnessed powerful storytelling across our community—from young immigrant students sharing their journeys through film, to cultural preservation work with La Sociedad de Folklórica, to Circles, an Indigenous-led performance created by and for Indigenous artists rooted in this land.

These stories exist because of community. Because of listening. Because of care.

As we look ahead to 2025, individual donors are essential to sustaining this work—especially after the loss of federal funding earlier this year. If you feel called to support storytelling that honors culture, ancestry, and belonging, we invite you to give in whatever way you can.

Thank you for walking with us, believing in this work, and helping carry it forward. 💚

Creating Circles: Honoring Indigenous Santa Fe has been one of the greatest honors of my six years at Little Globe.

Our relationship with the Santa Fe Indigenous Center has grown through years of collaboration. Aurora and I dreamt of a project built by and for Indigenous people—one that offers a true window into the experiences of our community.

This project was sparked by many seeds: from the work Chris Jonas, Jaydin Martinez, and I did to share our mission with legislators, to receiving funding through the NM GRO program, to the moment our incredible Director, Natalie Benally , walked into our world. Natalie brought strength, vulnerability, and deep care that guided our ensemble to profound connection.

Huge gratitude to teaching artists Sarah Hōgland Gurulé and Ehren Kee Natay for your patience, joy, and determination. And to our powerful Ensemble—Sativa Cruz , Avery Hale , Sunshine Eaton , Brent Kie , and Than Povi Martinez ;five storytellers from Pueblo, Genízaro, and Tribal communities, each deeply tied to Santa Fe—this work exists because of you.

Thank you to our Little Globe team for holding space and sharing your expertise, and to our backbone, Education Director and Circles program coordinator, Anaid Garcia who kept us nourished, organized, and connected every step of the way.

Seeing our community watch this show and see themselves on that stage was unforgettable. This story of resilience, ancestry, culture, and heart was created for you—our Indigenous community. Thank you for uplifting this work and making it such a success.

Thank you to Nate Lemuel who produced all of the photos of our dress rehearsal!

Thank you also to Kayla Banks for coming through as our stage manager! .movement

Next in the Circles: Honoring Indigenous Santa Fe artist spotlight series, we’re excited to introduce you to Brent Kie!

Guu’waa’dzi(Greetings). His English name is Brent Kie. His given name is Kaish’bii’tra’ti which translates to “the blue light at dawn”. Brent belongs to a tribe known as K’awaika(Laguna Pueblo), representing Tsii’yaa’ma & Guiish’dii villages, & born into Yaa’ka Hanu (corn clan). He is a multi-faceted artist who specializes in writing & music. Much of his writing includes, but is not limited to, poetry, prose, & creative non-fiction. Brent crafts music compositions in the form of songwriting, DJing & collaboration. The depth of his work are reflections of the land as
pedagogy, reinterpretations of epistemology as life lessons, & restitutions of medicines once
overharvested.

What Brent hopes to provide for people interacting with his art is a different viewpoint, an alternate reference, or a special suggestion that allows them to understand the world in a way that they may not have understood. In addition, he creates art for the sake of taking up space because many Indigenous people & ancestors fought for the right to continue living in ways of tradition & culture. Those who choose to participate with his artistry build a bond with him in the spirit world, where he hopes to provide the medicine they’ve been searching for.
