Hoshontika Na Ponaklo (Shadow Questions)
are assertive questions posed by Native Shadows to human witnesses. These ancestral Native Shadow-shifters are perpetually present, regardless of form, energy, or illumination. The demeanor of the witness determines whether the Shadows offer assistance, haunts, or devours the witness.

Hoshontika Na Ponaklo (ho-shown-teh-kaw nah paw-nok-low)
was conceived, written, choreographed, and directed by Nicholson Billey (Chahta and Mvskoke). The musical composition for Hoshontika Na Ponaklo was conceived, directed, and produced by Nicholson Billey, with Stiles serving as the Music Generator, and Jayden Avery-Love providing vocals. Join us for our community feast post performance. Share a meal in community with us...
