Who we Are
Preserving Native American History
Red Storm Drum & Dance troupe is a Native American educational and performance group from Staten Island. Margaret and Robert Boldeagle are two of our group’s founders who, with our members of varied Native American heritage, travel the nation using artifacts, song, drum and dance to teach people about the 560 Native American Tribes that exist in the U.S. today. Our mission is to preserve the Native American history for future generations.
Understanding Our Traditions
Every culture has traditions that are handed down from one generation to the next. Native American traditions focus on protecting the earth and our environment so that it can continue to sustain life. This case contains original artifacts used by our ancestors in their daily lives. We display them at our events. We encourage audience participation in traditional dance and song as we celebrate the original American culture.
