Description

Caption on back of photograph reads: This inter-tribal troupe of fourteen dancers was organized by Red Thunder Cloud, author of this photograph series, in East Hampton in 1944. The troupe practiced tribal dances in the woods near his home on Abrahams Path in Three-Mile-Harbor. They have appeared at hundreds of schools, camps, pow wows, and children's theaters all over the east. The Bonac Indian Dancers have also performed at Columbia University, Brooklyn College, Rhode Island State College and the University of Pennsylvania. The young man kneeling is Robert Butler. His grandmother, Princess Olive Butler, was a member of St. Luke's Church in East Hampton, L.I. Youth in the center is Little Feather, a Carib Indian of Central America and the author, A Catawba, appears on the right. He has made East Hampton his home since, 1942." Reseachers should be aware that Red Thunder Cloud's claims of Catawba heritage are disputed.
