Many Moccasins Dance Troupe

On Wednesday, June 18, 2025, at 10:00 am, the Many Moccasins Dance Troupe will bring their Traditional Native American style of dance to the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center’s outdoor Spirit of Discovery Stage as part of our Summer Series of programs. Admission is free. The audience will be positioned in a grassy area of Center’s campus, so they are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets, as well as refreshments. In case of rain, the show will be moved inside to the auditorium.

A program suitable for all family members, this Native American dance ensemble performs traditional style of dance and incorporates their own unique theatrical twist. The result is a spectacular display of true Native American Culture. Since its inception in 2001, this group has been performing for large audiences.

This Winnebago Nebraska dance group was originally founded by Lewis St. Cyr and his mother Therese St. Cyr. “The dance troupe was founded to provide an opportunity for all people to view a range of Native American dance styles,” says St. Cyr. Dances performed may include men’s feathery dance, women’s fancy shawl dance, and the popular hoop dance. The dance troupe also showcases specialty dances particular to certain tribes, such as the “Fish Dance” or the Applique Dance.”
