On game day a group of about eight dancers including Mitsuing will be doing three performances outside the stadium to welcome the roughly 70,000 fans attending the game. It’s unclear if it will be televised. The Super Bowl is playing out in a state that’s home to 22 Native American tribes who collectively oversee about a quarter of the land base.
Mitsuing was brought on about a month ago to take part in the festivities. He said Super Bowl organizers contacted Indigenous Enterprise, a U.S.-based company that preserves Indigenous culture through powwow song and dance performances, to collaborate on programming. “It all started with truth and reconciliation. I think that movement in Canada helped to start creating spaces for us to be in really big spaces.”
Since being in Arizona, he has heard from Indigenous people that a lot of work still needs to be done to educate Americans.
