Healing Ribbons

Join us for the Healing Community Round Dance, an annual celebration held in collaboration with Creighton University and their Native American Student Association. This event is more than a gathering; it's a vibrant testament to unity, community healing, and cultural awareness, deeply rooted in the traditions of Plains area tribes. The Round Dance symbolizes love, loss, humor, and the enduring spirit of Indigenous cultures, bringing together dancing, singing, and drumming in a powerful expression of unity and solidarity. It serves not only as a cherished communal bond but also as a voice for causes like Idle No More and MMIW, highlighting the importance of community strength and shared heritage.

The essence of the Round Dance is its circular formation, embodying unity, the cycle of life, and our deep connection to the Earth and each other. Open to all, it invites participants to join hands in a continuous circle, moving to the rhythm of drums that echo the heartbeat of our community. This inclusive dance fosters a sense of belonging and shared identity, making it a significant cultural and social activity where stories, traditions, and bonds are celebrated and reinforced. Beyond a mere social event, the Round Dance is a ritual of healing, love, and friendship, marking a powerful statement of cultural pride and the resilience of Native American traditions.
