Native Hoop Dancer Performs Thunderbird Formation | If Cities Could Dance

Lumhe “Micco” Sampson (Seneca and Muscogee Creek) dances the Thunderbird #hoopdance formation. 📺 Watch more about the Sampson Brothers:    • How Native Hoop Dancers Blend Heritage and...   In Sampson's own words: "the story of Thunderbird resonates in many nations across Turtle Island, representing the entity that is known commonly as Thunderstorms. We recognize, honor, and revere the power and presence of Thunderbeings, as they bring balance to our world with the very element that nurtures life (water), as well as wielding the potential to raze the Earth down to ashes with the power of lightning (fire); for if the forest is overwhelmed with fallen debris and is unkept, the lightning will take hold and burn the forest to the ground, resetting the land for new growth. Some species of plants require a fire for them to germinate (pyrosperms), other species of trees are able to withstand wildfires through their resilient adaptation of thicker complex bark. All of these lessons, and more, are entailed in the stories and teachings about the Thunderbird."
