John is a member of the Haliwa-Saponi tribe, as well as an actor, advocate, and performer of Native American music and dance. The program will feature a welcome honor song, storytelling, and reflections on Native American history and representation in the performing arts. Attendees will have the chance to take part in an open Q&A and community conversation following the presentation.
