Rescuing Our Native American Culture
- Target: Margie Boldeagle, Promoter and Organizer, Red Storm Drum and Dance Troupe
- Sponsored by: Margie Boldeagle, Red Storm Drum and Dance Troupe
Red Storm Drum and Dance Troupe, is a Native American educational and performance group. Our members are from many different Native heritages. They are historians, drummers, dancers, storytellers, flute players and educators of the Native American culture. We have done many schools, colleges and public events here on Staten Island as well as the New York area, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Our mission is to share the beauty and history of our culture with the general public.
On May 14th and 15th of 2005 Red Storm hosted a pow-wow in conjunction with the Staten Island Children Museum. The two-day event was very well received by those who attended. This pow-wow was also made possible with a grant from COAHSI. Many small Staten Island businesses donated food and equipment needed to run the pow-wow. There were approximately fifteen (15) vendors who came from all over the country. Because it was a two-day event the vendors stayed overnight on the grounds by their vending booths. There were no complaints or problems so far as the vendors staying overnight, or the pow-wow event itself.
We the people from Staten Island in all the New York City area would like to see more Native American Pow-Wows, educational events and programs that last for a number of days instead of this "few hour gathering." It has been raining off and on for the past few days and because of the weather in these few brief hours when this event does take place, the turn out will not nor cannot be expected to be high. A Pow-Wow is an important part of the Native American tradition. The Staten Island community needs and wants to see more of these indigenous legacies come to fruition instead of being cut back and is now being blocked in an extremely limited time. These blocks are a disgrace and an insult to all that live in this N.Y.C. Region. Please help the Native American Culture stay alive so that the past will be a part of Staten Island forever.
