The Soaring Eagles Dance Group is an organization that teaches American Indian Students grades K-12 to powwow dance. The children put on exhibitions of cultural dance while wearing tribal regalia for audiences across Southern California.[1]

History

The Soaring Eagles Dance Group was founded by Vickie Gambala in 2008. The group was created by Gambala and her parents to do something for the children and community in order to bring together Native people who are not connected to their reservation.[2]

At first the classes took place in a community hall in North Park but eventually grew and moved to the Ballard Parent Center in Old Town, San Diego. These classes include speakers and potlucks to bring the community together. The Sgroup was created to teach children and Native culture, how to dance the powwow, and how to design and make tribal regalia. It was founded on the mission to heal and strengthen traditional American tribal family values and preserve traditions and culture through diversity and education of Native American youth.[3]

Approach

The Soaring Eagles community, parents, children, and teachers support each other in dance, school, and extracurricular activities. Founder Vickie Gambala stresses the importance of family, community, and communication. The dance classes are more than teaching children to dance, they make sure the students understand what goes on at a powwow and how to culturally participate.

Staff

Vickie Gambala founded the Soaring Eagles and is the Program Coordinator. Chuck Cadotte has been with the group since the creation and is the main Staff Instructor. Cadotte instructs a weekly powwow dance class and teaches American Indian Youth traditions through these dance classes.[4]
