A NOTE ABOUT
DAYSTAR COMPANY PERFORMERS
Daystar Company members
are truly "intertribal"; they hail from many tribes
across the United States and Canada - Blackfeet, Chippewa, Navaho, Pueblo,
Creek, Mohawk, Apache, Lakota, and Metis, to name a few. They are dancers,
actors, martial arts practitioners, artists, musicians and teachers.
Photographs of past and current performers
can be seen throughout this website. Each one of them has
contributed to the history of contemporary native dance in this country.
