Virtual Presentation

Following the presentation, you will see a video of two dance styles from this year’s event representatives. The head lady will display the women’s northwest style of Traditional dance. This year’s head man will demonstrate the Fancy dance. The championship of fancy dance was first established at Haskell Indian Nations University in 1926 as part of the Stadium Dedication events and is a part of local history. The athletic stamina and showmanship exhibited by the dance is an exceptional performing art form.
Following their brief dance presentation, the head man and head lady will provide an explanation of their respective regalia and tribal affiliations represented. Jancita will provide more information about this year’s annual Indigenous Dance and Cultures Festival events, including the KU FNSA Powwow, which will be held virtually. She will be available to answer questions at the end of the presentation.
