Celebrate Native American Heritage Month with Derrick Suwaima Davis (Hopi/Choctaw) and Sooya Davis (Hopi/Choctaw) as they share insight into the Hopi culture with words, music, and dance.
Dance has been the defining element of Derrick Suwaima Davis’ life. A master at maneuvering five rattan hoops around his body, he is a Seven Time Hoop Dance World Champion. He conveys the Hopi story of creation creating intricate patterns with his hoop. Sooya Davis continues in his father's footsteps. He is a singer and musician plus a champion dancer of one of the most popular contemporary powwow dances, the Men's Fancy Dance.
Join us to learn and celebrate Hopi customs as Derrick and Sooya share their culture and demonstrate why both are champion dancers in this program for all ages.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
