Donna Pierite will lead a cultural presentation featuring traditional Tunica songs and stories, including the tribe’s emergence story involving the Blue Alligator and Red Alligator. According to the resort, the two protectors play a central role in the Tunica people’s origin story and the changing of the seasons.
