The Lakota Sioux Indian Dance Theatre was founded in 1978 on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota with the support of traditional Lakota Indian educators, healers, community leaders, championship powwow dancers, singers and storytellers. Henry Smith, producer of the company, has collaborated with some of the most highly acclaimed performers of the Sioux Nation, those who are cultural and spiritual leaders in their communities. The 1997-98 Dance Program season will also showcase performers with varied backgrounds and performance styles. All programs will be held in Theatre and Interpretation venues at 1979 S. Campus Drive, Evanston campus.
Facilities are accessible to the disabled.
