Wind River Dancers to perform

Posted

FORT LARAMIE NHS – Commemoration activities for the 150th Anniversary of the signing of the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie continue on Saturday with two performances by the Wind River Dancers. The first performance begins at 3 p.m. at Fort Laramie National Historic Site. An encore performance will be held at 7 p.m. in Torrington, at the Eastern Wyoming College of Fine Arts auditorium.

The renowned Wind River Dancers come from the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming, home to the seventh largest Indian reservation in the country. The popular performance includes a variety of American Indian dance styles, including men’s traditional, women’s fancy shawl, and jingle dress.

Throughout the presentation, dance styles are explained to the audience in order to share Native American culture and heritage. Music performed by drummers and singers is also explained to the audience so everyone has an opportunity to better understand this extraordinary exhibition of Native American culture.

Join us for these outstanding performances. Admission to the park is free.

This event is being supported in part by a grant through thinkWY|Wyoming Humanities.
