Lakota Hoop Dance

presented by Starr Chief Eagle

Join us for an interactive and educational dive into Lakota Culture that will explore the language, art, and knowledge of Lakota people. Experience the rare tradition of Hoop Dancing in which hoops are used to create designs, shapes, and creatures to tell a traditional Lakota story.

Starr Chief Eagle is an enrolled member of the Sicangu (Rosebud) Lakota Sioux Tribe.  She was born with the Lakota name Wichahpi Tokahe (First Star) and was later given the Lakota name Wichahpi Ohitika Winyan (Brave Star Woman) as she entered into adulthood.  She grew up in the Black Hills of South Dakota and started hoop dancing before she could walk under the guidance of her father, Dallas Chief Eagle.  Starr enjoys sharing her culture through art, language, dance, and song for future generations in hopes of restoring and maintaining the Lakota culture.
