Native American Culture, Dance 6:30 Wednesday At Secaucus Rec Center

SECAUCUS, NJ — Happening this Wednesday, November 20 at the Secaucus Rec Center there will be a presentation and display of Native American dance, history and culture.

Take the kids and family to learn about Native American culture. This is a free presentation from Patrick ‘Littlewolf’ Brooks, a member of the Tuscarora nation, the sixth tribe of the Iroquois Confederacy, which is located in upstate New York.

Littlewolf Brooks will give a lecture and presentation on American Indian culture, which is a very important part of American history.

The presentation begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Secaucus Recreation Center, 1200 Koelle Blvd, Secaucus, NJ.

He will talk about the history and music of American Indians, and there will be traditional dance performances. Shop for traditional Wampum jewelry and indigenous crafts. Sponsored by the Friends of the Secaucus Public Library.

Littlewolf Brooks is also a decorated 12-year U.S. Army veteran who served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. His passion for educating the public about Native culture has taken him to numerous venues to conduct presentations and dance programs to audiences of all ages, sharing the history and culture of Indigenous Americans and First Nations People. He is an accomplished dancer and has served as a member of the head staff at several Native gatherings.

Littlewolf Brooks is also a sixth-generation flute player following in his family's footsteps.

He also designs and builds regalia items for Native dancers. The work he puts into his jewelry, cedar boxes and dance fans reflects his belief that these skills must be passed on to our younger generations in order for Native American culture to survive. As a third-generation storyteller, Littlewolf Brooks continues his great, great grandfather’s teachings through the stories he was told as a child. He lives his life as a traditionalist and as such he strives to honor his people and his ancestors by bringing awareness and understanding to those who want to learn more about the indigenous people of present-day United States of America.
