Ed
WindDancer,
dancer, flutist and educator, is a Nanticoke Indian who was
born and raised on the eastern shore of Maryland in a family
and culture that has a very close and unique relationship
with the land. "We hunted, fished, and grew crops for
our well being and, in growing up this way, learned how to
live with our animal brothers and sisters and all the wondrful
creatures belonging to our Mother Earth and Father Sky. Nantikoke
Elders are beautiful people who taught me the precious things
of our native culture."

States where his gifts as a flutist, dancer, and

at schools and at cultural and civic events. "I
use my gifts from Creator to educate people and
have dedicated my life to this path."
A

Wows, Ed has the honor of being adopted into a Lakota
family, the Medicines of Wakpala, South Dakota.
