AuditoriumExperience Lakota culture through a demonstration and dance class with Lakota artist and teacher Starr Chief Eagle.
Starr Chief Eagle will share the history of Lakota hoop dancing and demonstrate a short dance. We will learn a full dance routine that we will perform at the end of the program!
Starr Chief Eagle is an enrolled member of the Sicangu (Rosebud) Lakota Sioux Tribe. She was born with the Lakota name Wichahpi Tokahe (First Star) and was later given the Lakota name Wichahpi Ohitika Winyan (Brave Star Woman) as she entered into adulthood. She grew up in the Black Hills of South Dakota and started hoop dancing before she could walk under the guidance of her father, Dallas Chief Eagle. Starr enjoys sharing her culture through art, language, dance, and song for future generations in hopes of restoring and maintaining the Lakota culture.
