Education Specialist
Arts for Learning, The Miami Affiliate of Young Audiences
We celebrate the spirit and beauty of Indigenous peoples! We honor the uniqueness and history of First Nations including Sac and Fox Tribe of Meskwaki Nation, Lakota Nation of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, Ojibwe, Dakota, Menominee, Cree, Ho-Chunk, Dine’(Navajo) and various other tribes.
As individual artists, we join together as one!
We honor our elders through many beautiful forms like music, dance and storytelling to reflect our rich cultural history and customs passed down from generation to generation. We share the true history of bravery, fortitude, generosity and wisdom.
We are passionately devoted to keeping our traditions alive. Our mission is to educate, inspire, motivate and empower diverse communities to bridge cultural gaps through Indigenous traditions.
Welcome…
Feel the beat of the drum, experience the hypnotizing power of dance and enjoy the rhythm of the music as we share the cultural history, traditions, ways, beliefs and spiritual importance of Indigenous peoples.

“Mr. Yazzie and his colleagues are particularly good at breaking common stereotypes and providing non-native people with a better understanding of the modern native experience.
I’ve noticed that people are more respectful of native cultures – and of each other after attending performances by Larry Yazzie and the Native Pride Dancers.”
