Event highlight: Artist Sherri Waterman-Hopper (Onondaga Nation, Beaver Clan) is leading two Smoke Dance performances this Wednesday and Thursday, July 1 and 2 -- and one of the performances is right here in our building!

Smoke Dance is a Haudenosaunee social dance involving storytelling, quick footwork, and spins. It was originally a war dance practiced by men to demonstrate their agility, stamina, and strength, but has evolved to include a graceful women’s dance style.

Smoke Dance Demos
Wednesday, July 1
in the Minneapolis American Indian Center's Rotunda (1530 E. Franklin Ave.)
6:00 - 7:00 p.m.

Thursday, July 2
at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden (725 Vineland Pl)
6:00 - 7:00 p.m.

The performances are part of the Walker Art Center's A:gajë:gwah dësa'nigöëwë:nye:' (i hope it will stir your mind) by Rosy Simas, and features Sherri as the MC, singer Travis "Huggy" John, and dancers Monique Powless, Lumhe "Micco" Sampson, Kenlyn Skye, and Mae Redeye. They are done in partnership with the center's Tradish Project.
