Join the NMAI-NY for storytelling and interactive Native dance sessions Tuesday through Thursday in July.  Meet Ty Defoe (Giizhig), a multi-talented Native artist who integrates singing, storytelling and hoop dancing in an engaging, interactive performance.

Defoe leads a conversation about Native American cultures and guides his audience through his performances using indigenous instruments. The dance communicates the beauty of the symbol of the Hoops—the interdependence and unity of all living things.
