Native American Heritage Month program Nov. 7 at Main Library

November is Native American Heritage Month, and the Atlantic City Free Public Library will celebrate it with a program - The Strength of Song & Dance - on Nov. 7 from 5-7 p.m. at the Main Library.

The Lenapehoking Reestablishment Project will drum, sing and perform various exhibition dance styles - including intertribal dances used at pow wows and tribal gatherings, such as Fancy Shawl, Chicken, and Jingle Dress. It will also perform Nanticoke and Lenape social dances - including the Bean Dance and Toe Dance.

Audience members will learn the meaning of the dances, the tribal attire and why the tribe members are the way they are. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a dance, if they'd like.

This is a free program and suitable for all ages. Call (609) 345-2269 for more information.
