September 27th , 2003
On September 27th, the Spurlock Museum had the great pleasure of
hosting two concerts called Little Wolf and the Wolf Pack: Dance
and Drum. These American Indian events were filled with song,
dance, and storytelling. Each of the performers wore beautiful regalia
and added his or her own expertise and skill to a show that delighted
audience members of all ages.
Larry Lockwood, who was part of the Museum’s “Winter
Tales” event last February, told stories and presented the
energetic Men’s Fancy Dance. Shawndra Campbell demonstrated
the Jingle Dress Dance, a dance of healing. Regina Tsosie did the
Traditional Women’s Dance, which honors a woman’s connection
to Mother Earth. Three younger members of the family—Adobé Alina
Little Whirlwind-Lockwood, Aiyana Rae Little Whirlwind-Lockwood,
and Cydney Rose Tsosie-Mahieu—performed the Girl’s Fancy
Shawl Dance and the Traditonal Woman’s Dance. All of the family
members sang to the rhythms beaten on Grandfather Drum.
The afternoon event was given as a cultural exchange for a group
of Japanese visitors from the Hakubi Kyoto Kimono School. The visitors
then enchanted their audience (including the Native American performers)
the next day with a kimono dressing performance called “Kimono
Fantasy” at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts.
For more information about the “Kimono Fantasy” series
of events created in conjunction with the Museum’s focus gallery
exhibit “Luxurious Layers: Kimonos of the Heian Court,” go
