The Sampson Brothers have created their own style of dance - a fusion of traditional pow-wow and hoop dance and styles from other cultures. Cultural dance styles from around the world are distinct and unique. Yet they are all part of the same circle - the earth. Using words and dance, the Sampson Brothers demonstrate the interconnectedness of humanity and all living things. As world-renowned dancers, Lumhe and Samsoche Sampson (Mvskoke Creek/Seneca)-a.k.a. the “Sampson Brothers”-promote cultural pride, unity, and hope through art, education, and dance. From the moment they began walking, the brothers learned the Powwow styles of Grass and Fancy dance, and Hoop dance became their passion as young boys. More than 25 years later, they have performed in more than half a dozen countries, hundreds of universities, and educated thousands of people around the world about their culture and Indigenous Hoop Dancing. The Sampson Brothers bridge modern times while honoring tradition, bridging two worlds to break stereotypes, provide positive inspiration, and create opportunities for the Indigenous community for generations to come. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
