Walking on Turtle Island

Turtle Island is the land of America. The Lakota people know the land, its animals and its people. Robert's pow-wow singing fills the room with good feelings and his flute playing can bring you to tears. This will be an evening of stories, songs jokes learning and laughter from an award winning storyteller.

Greygrass grew up in Hayward, California — far from his mother's Lakota and Cherokee roots. He experienced many of the problems facing urban Indians. As a young adult he started to explore his Lakota heritage and began to turn his life around. What followed were years of traditional spiritual practices; sweats, vision quests, Sundance, listening to the Elders, learning the language, history, stories, and years of activism with the American Indian Cultural Centre. It is with an understanding of this great traditional wisdom that he performs for us on this tour.

Tickets £6 (£4) on the door.
