Indian Country Mourns Loss of Beloved Grass Dancer – Wanbli Charging Eagle

Folks all along the pow wow trail are learning about the sudden passing of Wanbli Charging Eagle and paying tribute to this talented grass dancer.

The Black Hills Powwow shared this message and video on their Facebook page:

If you attended a pow wow, you were sure to see him place in the top 3 during grass dance specials, or maybe even had the pleasure of seeing him serve as head man dancer.

Here are just a few of the videos out there of people that appreciated his dancing…
