Koshare Indian Dancers

The Koshare Indian Dancers are coming to Bear Lake.

Stephen befriended this troop and Venturing Crew from

LaJunta, Colorado since he has been working down there.

This is a unique and exemplary troop. They are celebrating

their 75th anniversay this year. They do all the traditional

scouting things, but take it a step further. They emphasize

keeping the lore of the Native Americans alive and have been

performing Indian, dances, songs etc. in elaborate native

costumes which have won them worldwide acclaim. They were

in Japan last year, and have performed all over the USA. They

have performed before Presidents, at half time for professional

football games, and for family and school groups and everything

in between. Most impressive to me is that thy have produced

more than 600 Eagle Scouts, 90 percent of which have gone on

to college, and they count more than 100 doctor's degrees, either

PhDs, MDs or thother academic doctorates among their alumni.

Show me another little town like LaJunta., that can boast the same.

And that is just the tip of the iceberg as to what they have done.

We consider it an honor to be able to host them here, and invite any

and all who can to come and see their program, If you can't come

please tell others about it. They will be at the Bear Lake Middle

School Auditorium at 7:00 PM on Monday August, 11th.
