Mark Tayac and the Piscataway Indian Nation Singers and Dancers

Thursday, April 14, at noon in the Maureen Stapleton Theatre

Famous for their internationally recognized living history program of authentic American Indian dance, drum and song, the Piscataway Indian Nation Singers and Dancers welcome the opportunity to educate and entertain audiences who want to learn more about Native American history, culture and contemporary issues. It is one of the most colorful, artful and educational programs in the country.

From “Tayac Territory” in Maryland, Mark Tayac and his troupe travel throughout Europe, Canada and the United States for workshops, lectures and performances. The group appeared in “Dances with Wolves” with actor Kevin Costner and frequently contributes to History and Discovery channel television specials. They are regulars at the Smithsonian-s Museum of the American Indian, national pow-wows, major festivals and colleges across the country.

Thursday’s program is presented by the Cultural Affairs Program.
