Join the New Bern Historical Society as they welcome the return of the Cypress Society Singers and Dancers and the Tuscarora Educational Powwow Sunday, November 8 at 2pm at Craven Community College’s Orringer Auditorium.
The Cypress Society Singers and Dancers represent the Kahtehnuaka Tuscarora peoples that reside in these lands that are now called North Carolina. Primarily led by Kat Littleturtle and Kaya Littleturtle, you will be told the old stories of the eastern woodland native nations and shown the old dances and songs. The audience will go on a journey that began at the beginning of creation and get a glimpse of the culture and traditions of the original inhabitants of turtle island.
Come join us on November 8 at 2pm at Orringer Auditorium to hear these untold stories and get a glimpse into the culture and traditions that defined this region before Baron DeGraffenreid and John Lawson arrived. Tickets are $10 for members, active-duty military, and students; $12 for nonmembers. Reservations available online at www.NewBernHistorical.org or by calling 252-638-8558. A portion of the proceeds will go to supporting the Cypress Society Singers and Dancers. Their previous visit was very popular, so get your reservations early.
