JOIN US FOR NATIVE AMERICAN EVENTS THIS FALL
Lakota Sioux Dance Theater at Leeward Community College
- Sunday, September 21, 2008 at 7 pm
Dance and music play as important a role in the Lakota Sioux culture as they do for Hawaiian and other indigenous people around the world. Likewise there is a depth beyond stereotypes you may have seen in film and television. It has been over a decade since the group last performed in Hawai‘i, and given the enthusiastic reception from audiences, that is far too long between visits. Their performances are in high demand but they are always as pleased to perform in Hawai‘i as we are to have them. Tickets: $23 adult, $19 students, seniors (60+), military. Tickets go on sale, August 25, 2008. For more information, go to http://lcctheatre.hawaii.edu/lakota.html.
