Library hosts afternoon of Indian dance and storytelling
The culture of the Lakota people will be celebrated in song and dance at the end of this month. The event will be to raise funds for and awareness of the Lakota people.
A member of South Dakota’s Rosebud Indian Reservation, Sage Fast Dog, will be telling the Lakota Creation Story. He will then give a workshop on traditional Lakota dance steps. Audience participation will be encouraged.
Sage Fast Dog is working to preserve Lakota identity and culture. He teaches Lakota language, dance, and culture and is a skilled traditional dancer. In Mission, South Dakota, he presently has a Fellowship at the Todd County Middle School, where he works with Lakota children of the ‘Burnt Thigh’, the Sicangu Oyate Lakota people. He is one of the authors of the First Children First curriculum that teachers use to present the history and culture of the Oceli Sakowin – the collective term for the Nakota, Lakota, and Dakota people.
Some interested Norwalk photographers could take pictures of the presenter in his full Lakota regalia and take the pictures to a local printing company. The printing company could make calendars, or carry out some stationery printing to help raise funds for the Lakota people.
The event will be Saturday, April 22 from 2:00 pm until 4:00 pm at the Pequot Library Auditorium, 720 Pequot Avenue, Southport, Connecticut. All ages welcome.
