A Story Before Time October 26, 2010

The legends of Native peoples offer an unparalleled gateway to cultural understanding, and the Iroquois tale of Sky Woman and her offspring is a perfect example. The aboriginal performers of Kaha:wi blend the high standards of modern theater with traditional Native dance and inspiring music drawn from Iroquoian social songs in Mohawk and Cayuga languages. Beautiful costumes, magical scenery, and gentle storytelling round out this ingenious and compelling interpretation of the imagery, power, and beliefs of a people who have inhabited our region for centuries, and whose culture continues to thrive today.
