Dineh'Tah Navajo dancers and Ohio history related presentation on General William T. Sherman

Join us Thursday, Nov 7, from 1–3:30 p.m. at the Bennett Hall Auditorium, OU Chillicothe campus, for an event featuring the Dineh'Tah Navajo dancers. The program will include a lecture followed by a dance exhibition. You're encouraged to attend both parts, but feel free to join for either one.

The Dineh’Tah Dancers, from Albuquerque, New Mexico, will perform traditional dances of the Dineh people. These dances have been modified to respect the actual songs and dances used in sacred religious ceremonies. A representative from the Dineh’Tah group will begin the performance with an Ohio history related presentation on General William T. Sherman and his role in peace treaties through the Indian Peace Commission of 1867-1868.

Sponsored by Ohio University Chillicothe's Cultural Committee, the Ohio University Chillicothe Giving Circle, and the Religious Tolerance Collection at Ohio University Chillicothe in memory of Stanley Planton.  Learn more
