Biboon (winter) brings cold weather and storytelling. Storytelling for many Indigenous communities is a time of reflection, laughter, and life lessons. Bizhiki storytellers travel the country sharing appropriate stories with family and youth audiences in an interactive environment.
The Bizhiki Culture & Dance Company was founded in 2016 on the pillars of public engagement and education with the goal of furthering people’s understanding of indigenous cultures, foodways, and language through interactive workshops, performances, presentations, and exhibitions. The professionals of Bizhiki engage audiences of all ages through intricate stories, traditional and contemporary dance, and song.
For all audiences/ages.
This program is partially sponsored by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
