About the Book
For Kevin Locke, the Hoop Dance is more than a dance; it is a way of keeping Lakota traditions alive. In the lively photographs and engaging text of Lakota Hoop Dancer, the importance of the dance to both Lakota culture and all cultures is rendered compellingly. Readers will learn how Kevin prepares his hoops, what regalia he wears, the designs created in his dance, as well as the training, skill and practice that go into his performance. This book is a testament to a dance that Kevin describes as a "prayer in movement". It is a celebration of the human spirit and a symbol of hope for future equality and harmony.
