The event featured drumming as well as the Butterfly and Eagle dances from members of the Laguna tribe and remarks from Most Rev. James S. Wall, Bishop of Gallup; Carl Anderson, Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus; and Fr. Henry Sands, Director of the National Black and Indian Foundation. The shrine will include a chapel, museum, and 30 outdoor rosary stations. Each station will be marked by a niche, and each niche will be designed by a Catholic artist from a distinct Native American tribe. St. Kateri Tekakwitha was canonized as a saint in 2012 and is the first Native American Catholic saint. She is the patron saint of Native American, Indigenous, and First Nations peoples.
