takes pride in hearing more of the Indigenous Native American perspectives like the TED Talk with Mark Charles. When he’s not traveling and Pow Wow dancing, he is a public speaker and educator.

Through his work, Dan hopes to encourage schools to offer “more
accurate Native American culture into their curriculum." Dan's deep
connection to his stories and performance will move us all to think
about the native land we now call our home. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
