The Royalty Committee and court will also be hosting a group of 40 girls and their chaperones on June 2, 2002. This group of girls are from the Czech Republic. They have raised funds for a trip to the United States to learn about the people and their culture. They asked to meet our Royalty Court and learn about the Tribe and our culture. We will be hosting quite an evening of story telling, traditional foods, and exhibition dancing. We are very excited about this event and sharing our culture with these girls. They will also be doing a short concert for us. The Royalty Court will also be having dance classes once a month open to all interested in some dance instruction. Dietz and Chad Peters will be teaching Men and Boys traditional, grass, and fancy, Jackie Provost will be teaching Women's and Girls traditional and Crystal Szczepanski will be teaching Women and Girls Fancy Shawl and Jingle.
