A recognized master of the Lakota hoop dance, Chief Eagle has worked as an artist in-residence and mentor through his Hoop dance studio in the All Nations Gathering Center on the Pine Ridge Reservation.
A member of the Rosebud Lakota Nation, Chief Eagle shares and teaches the traditional hoop dance in a manner that the students enjoy while learning about the development of their own characters.”
CCABH is sponsoring October’s educational programming through grant monies awarded by philanthropic community group, Black Hills by Choice, with matching funds from the South Dakota Arts Council. CCABH plan to use remaining grant monies on additional educational programming, supplementing CCABH’s educational outreach for a total of three artists in residency by summer 2022.
