Since 2011, Rock your Mocs has showcased the diversity of Indigenous peoples by encouraging them to share stories through photos of their moccasins.
Indigenous Directions is inviting you to join us in celebrating the week-long event by attending Rocking Those Mocs: Dancing for Change. Dr. Bimadoshka Pucan will host this panel discussion exploring different perspectives on how dancers today are shaping pow wows through their traditions and identities.
The discussion will be followed by a Q & A with the panelists.
