When I was a little girl in the 1960’s I saw a young man do this dance. I asked him to dance. I loved it and told everyone to come see him. He ran off and disappeared. I was horrified. I found out later that it was illegal for him to do the dance. Glad that times have changed. Wherever he is, I hope all is well with him.

@@ramkc9129 Real story. As a little girl I didn’t know it was illegal. After I saw him do the hoop dance I ran and told everyone I saw how wonderful it was and to come see him. As an old lady now, I am horrified that anyone could have be arrested for dancing their native dances. I am grateful that I got to see him dance in person. It is a treasured memory.

@@ramkc9129 The only threat this country has deemed serious enough are Native Americans. Why? Because they're the original inhabitants of this land. As a result, various policies were placed in order to limit their power. I won't go into detail about such policies because they're too long and many. However, I will say that they had NO right to religious practice until 1978. That's right. The First Amendment didn't apply to them. Native Americans (which include Alaskan Inuits and Native Hawaiians), could not practice ANY form of "Native" religion. This encompasses ceremonies, dances, songs, and certain attire. For example, wearing eagle feathers is sacred to many Native peoples and are part of their attire. However, the eagle is an endangered species. As a result, using eagle feathers was illegal. After much advocacy, a resolution was agreed upon. Native peoples could acquire feathers from dead eagles. If an eagle died at a sanctuary or zoo for example, the sanctuary/zoo has to send the feathers to Native nations.

They are not. Pow-wows are left overs from the Wild West shows with Bill Cody and a circus to spit on Indians for staged massacres. Today, pow-wows are social or contest for money prizes. Even singers at the drum get paid. These are not ceremonial. Frybread, pow-wows and hoop dancing are modern pan Indian results to entertain natives and non natives alike.

At one point, before the dancer REALLY got started, it reminded me of how my classmates and I would play "jump rope" during recess on the playground, more than 50 years ago. Two long ropes, in the left and right hands of a girl on each end, would be spun like an egg beater on the pavement, and this was called Double Dutch. If a girl could jump into the egg beater and jump both ropes at the same time, she was accepted as one of the cool kids. But we could never have even imagined an art and skill like this hoop dance, or even come CLOSE to doing it. AMAZING!

Aside from the impressive hoop work, can't be easy keeping a crowd of literal boy scouts entertained and impressed!

I always get a overwhelming feeling of peace and tranquility when I hear the music and see the dancing from Native Americans. Feel like I've gone home after a long absence. And don't know why. Thank you. Talented doesn't say enough.

That is quite amazing! Every kid will want a hula hoop afterwards.

I loved that he explained the dance to the kids in a way that was easy for them to understand. Our cultural preservation is very important, and that is true for all cultures. When someone speaks negatively about anyone's culture and traditions it comes from a place of ignorance. Not meaning stupid, but meaning that they don't know or understand. You cannot appreciate the story without knowing what it is.

Beautiful....it his passion, his calling, his duty, his gift he was given....I cried when I watched it and thought of the several hundred unmarked graves of Indigenous children never given a chance to practice their cultural ceromonies, dances, speak their language here in Canada....but this guy is living proof that he has answered his calling, sharing his marvellous gifts. Miigwetch! (Thank You in OUR Ojibwe language)
