Scottsdale area celebrates the season at Holidays at the Heard
The Herd Museum, which houses American Indiana Art and History, will be having its annual Holiday at the Heard.
This will be a five-day event that has become a Southwestern tradition, where guests can experience American Indian dance, music, food, and art.
Each day the auditorium will feature a different music and dance performance twice. A Navajo/Maricopa group called Yellowhouse Dancers will start things off on the first day. Tohono O’odham will follow the next day. Tony Duncan representing Apache/Arikara/Hidatsa will perform the third day. Hopi/Choctaw tribes will be represented by Derrick Suwaima David, a champion hoop dancer, and Dinetah Dancers (Navajo) will be performing on the last day.
Art demonstrations will be going on also in the HOME: Native People in the Southwest exhibit. These demos will include Pee-Post/Quechan pottery, Creek/Choctaw/Dine, Navajo jewelry, and Navajo painting.
Scottsdale photographers may want to bring their cameras, as pictures of this event will make perfect subjects for the likes of calendars and stationery printing.
The Holidays at the Heard event will be from Monday, December 26 until Friday, December 30 at the Heard Museum, 215 N. 7th Street, Phoenix. The music and dance will be in the Steele Auditorium and the art demonstrations and exhibit will be in the atrium. Hours will be 11:00 am until 4:00 pm.
