(Winston-Salem, NC) –
As part of its ongoing Humanities Enrichment Series, Forsyth Tech will be
hosting the One Spirit Dance Team on Wednesday, April 13 from noon to 1:30 pm in
the Dewitt Rhoades Conference Center at the Oak Grove Center on the college’s
Main Campus, 2100 Silas Creek Parkway in Winston-Salem. The program is free and
open to the public.
The One Spirit Dance Team, based in the Triad, travels
across North Carolina to promote the state’s deep American Indian heritage. The
program at Forsyth Tech will offer a first-hand opportunity to learn about the
contributions of American Indian tribes, past and present, to the Tar Heel
state’s diverse culture and society.
“Many people don’t realize that North Carolina has the
highest American Indian population on the east coast,” says Anu Williams, department
chair of Humanities,
Communication and Fine Arts at Forsyth Tech. “The One Spirit Dance
Team’s program communicates in vibrant and memorable ways an aspect of our
state’s rich heritage that is less well-known.”
Members of the One Spirit Dance Team consist of
representatives from North Carolina’s eight recognized tribes: Lumbee,
Haliwa-Saponi, Coharie, Sappony, Waccamaw Siouan, Meherrin, Cherokee, and the
Occaneechi Saponi.
A member of the One Spirit Dance Team will be available for
media interviews following the presentation."
