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.
