Programs

NATIVE AMERICAN EDUCATION
Mark is concerned about educating youth and adults in today's society. He is able to share Indigenous culture through his efforts in schools, universities and museums. He has a variety of presentations designed for education and/or skills training. These programs are entertaining and spiritual as well as educational, and are designed for people of all ages.

PERFORMANCES
Mark is available to perform for community, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, and other groups across the Lone Star State of Texas. He will, when possible, travel out of state. Performances may include a flute song and vocal songs with drum, traditional dances, music and stories from the Great Plains, Southwest, and the Northeast. Audience participation is always encouraged. He brings color, movement, the heartbeat of the drum, and the sounds of Native American dance to your event.
Presentations, tailored to the needs of your group, typically range from 30 to 60 minutes. Additional performance components may be added when his son and/or daughter accompany him.
