The Native Women's Dancing Society has existed at Dartmouth since 2002. The group creates a space devoted to sharing and celebrating the multitude of dance styles prevalent in Native American societies. We focus on dancing women's fancy shawl but are open to other styles of Native dance. NWDS is currently comprised of students from many nations, including: Navajo, Northern Cheyenne, Nanticoke, Inupiaq, Muscogee and the Three Affiliated Tribes. Dancing has a varied meaning to each of the members but, they all agree that the art of movement brings people together in a unique and inspiring way.
