The Nanticoke Indian Dance Troupe presents a traditional cultural sharing\, highlighting Native American dances\, their cultural meaning\, and the importance of oral tradition. The dances reflect values such as respect\, honor\, community\, and our connection to the Creator\, the earth\, and one another.\n\nStorytelling is woven throughout the presentation\, helping the audience understand how dance carries memory\, identity\, and tradition. The Troupe consists of Native American Dancers of all ages\, who proudly demonstrate their individual dance styles\, sharing with the audience the importance of the different styles\, along with traditional ways.\n\nThis program is part of Lewes 250\, a commemoration of America’s 250th anniversary\, honoring our town’s rich past and bright future. Lewes 250 brings neighbors\, visitors\, and local organizations together in celebration of the “First Town in the First State.”\n\n\nNew this year:\n\nNo registration required!
