Native American history comes to life at Panida
A Navajo woman’s story comes to life in a dramatization of culture and history of the 1930s and ‘40s. Brought to you by Pend Oreille Arts Council, this family appropriate performance is on Friday, Nov. 18 at 7 p.m. at the Panida.
The challenges of being a Navajo girl turning into a woman during the 1930s and ’40s is the backbone of the story that will come to life on the Panida stage on Friday, Nov. 18 at 7 p.m. “Living Voices: Native Vision” is brought to Sandpoint as part of Pend Oreille Arts Council’s 2016-17 Performing Arts Series.
Watch history come to life as a Navajo girl explores her family’s past while struggling to keep her culture in a government-run boarding school. Then learn how the Navajo served the U.S. during World War II as code talkers in the South Pacific.
The “Living Voices” performing arts troupe depicts the lives of Native Americans utilizing archival footage, photographs and videos from the time and place where it’s set to augment the story being told from the stage. This provocative subject is certain to fuel a lively interactive discussion at the conclusion of the dramatization.
