Wahzhazhe brings to life the rich history of the Osage Nation in a stunningly beautiful stage performance using traditional drumming, costumes, and contemporary dance. This professional dance performance has been performed at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C. and during Pope Francis' visit to the Philadelphia Festival of Families in 2015.
