Dances & Stories of the Ho Chunk Nation

Champion powwow dancer Reg Pettibone of the Ho-Chunk Nation presents an engaging cultural program that entertains and educates audiences through dance, song, storytelling, audience participation, and a hands-on artifact display. Drawing on his traditional upbringing, Reg and his family—including his wife, Marca Pettibone and daughters Autumn Hart and Coral Pettibone, both accomplished powwow dancers—share the living traditions, cultures, and knowledge of Indigenous Peoples.  

Through authentic regalia and interactive experiences, audiences gain a deeper understanding of Ho-Chunk culture, Native lifeways, and the importance of preserving Indigenous traditions for future generations.
