We honor Native American Heritage Month with performances from Whisperhawk and Li'l Feathers. And all month long, stop by for a free zine or sticker that highlights indigenous voices in the area.

Join the City Library in celebrating Native American Heritage Month with some local talent! Enjoy performances by Granite School District's youth Powwow group Li'l Feathers, and singer-songwriter Whisperhawk, a local folk/rock performer who is also one of The City Library's featured HUM artists. Dave John, of KRCL's Living the Circle of Life, will join us as emcee.

Li’l Feathers is Granite School District’s Native American & Alaskan Native after-school program and is overseen by Ronda DuVall, Community & Cultural Specialist for the Urban Indian Center.

Whisperhawk (Michael Gross) has been a mainstay in the Utah music scene since the early 2000's. Gross got his start with the indie rock band The Brobecks who were making waves in the indie rock scene and were dubbed a "buzz band" and "band to watch" by many music publications and blogs until his departure in 2007. Since then Gross has been involved with various bands and music projects and in 2010 signed a music licensing deal with Bleed 101 in Los Angeles. His music has appeared on various networks including NBC, CBS, MTV, and FX (to name a few) and has also appeared in film, most notably "A Family Man" starring Gerard Butler and Willem Dafoe. Whisperhawk is Gross' latest project which combines his knack for melodies with a high-desert folk/rock spirit. Some of Whisperhawk's songs are known to have Native American themes as Gross himself is a member, and Tribal Councilman for the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation.


Dave John, Tewa (Summer Clan) and Diné (Black Sheep Clan), is the co-host of "Living the Circle of Life" on KRCL 90.9 — Utah's only music program dedicated to the Indigenous people of Utah.  Dave John is also an activist and Co-Founder of PANDOS (Peaceful Advocates for Native Dialogue & Organizing Support) which was created in support of the Standing Rock relatives.  PANDOS has partnered with Standing Rock legal services, Defend the Sacred Powwow, Covid 19 Mobile Testing Unit, and O.U.R's (Our Unsheltered Relatives), which sets up a mobile kitchen to feed the Unsheltered. Dave John is also a Co-Founder of 2 & 2 Coalition, which worked with local activist groups and the First United Methodist Church to bring 85 people off the streets when temperatures in Salt Lake City dropped below 25 degrees.  Dave is on the P-NUT Board (Public, Natural, Urban Trails), Native American Events, and Co-Founder of Utah League of Native American Voters.

About the branch

NOTE: The Main Library's Rooftop Terrace is closed for renovations.

Salt Lake City's Main Library, designed by internationally-acclaimed architect Moshe Safdie in conjunction with VCBO Architecture, opened in February 2003 and remains one of the most architecturally unique structures in Utah. This striking 240,000 square-foot structure houses more than 500,000 books and other materials, yet serves as more than just a repository of books and computers. It reflects and engages the city's imagination and aspirations. The structure embraces a public plaza, with shops and services at ground level, reading galleries above, and a 300-seat auditorium.

A multi-level reading area along the Glass Lens at the southern facade of the building looks out onto the plaza with stunning views of the city and Wasatch Mountains beyond. Spiraling fireplaces on four floors resemble a column of flame from the vantage of 200 East and 400 South. The Urban Room between the Library and the Crescent Wall is a space for all seasons, generously endowed with daylight and open to magnificent views.
