Red Bear Productions Proudly Presents

“MUSIC AND DANCES FROM THE HEART” 

Originally from the Great Plains area, this family of native performing artists shares their stories, songs and dances that have been past down from generation to generation. Being Tribal citizens of the Spirit Lake Dakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne, Mandan and Arikara Nations, the Merrick family gives a spiritual and educational presentation of native song and dance. 

During these presentations, you will learn how important, living in harmony with nature is to the survival of our Native people. Not only will you see some of the most wonderful native regalia’s and exciting dancing, but you will also hear beautiful flute music and the powerful native singing voices of this talented group of performers. The music that is shared by, Red Bear Productions has been performed on movie sound tracks, television, radio stations and live events. 

Red Bear Productions has had the great opportunity of working with many different companies, universities and museums to bring Native American awareness of song and dance to their events: Mystic Ballet (Wind In Your Hair & Peter Pan), The World Poker Tour (Money Presentation), Mashantucket Museum and Research Center, RISD Museum, Peabody Museum, Connecticut Light and Power, Staples, Yale University, Harvard University, Brown University, UMASS Amherst and Dartmouth College to name a few.
