Description

On Saturday, September 6th we will be honoring and celebrating the life of St. David Pendleton Oakerhater with our twenty-second annual honor dance.  The honor dance will take place at the newly opened Oakerhater Center in Watonga, Oklahoma.

The day will begin at 2:00 p.m. with the traditional Gourd Dance, which will be followed by Holy Eucharist.  After worship, participants will enjoy feasting on fry bread, corn soup and other Native American dishes.  A grand entry and dancing into the night will follow dinner.

This year special dances- like the Buffalo Dance- will be offered for children and parents to enjoy.  We also hope to see everyone who has participated in the Gourd Dance to come and join us.  An auction will take place for a hand drum crafted by Malcolm Whitebird.    

The Oakerhater Center is located one mile east of Watonga, on Highway 33.  Turn south on Laing Street across from Legion Park.
