indigenous dancers dressed in yellow perform in front of sunflowers
Oron'ónhta / Beings of Light

Oron’ónhta (O-lun ‘ un-da) means sunflower in Kanyen’kéha. Smith’s vision for Oron’ónhta  / Beings of Light is to celebrate our kinship to non-human entities, to extend greetings, love and respect to nature, to embody the journey of the sunflower seeds from Skyworld to their home on Turtle Island. Four dancers embody the seed journey which is inspired by the Rotinonhsión:ni – Creation Story.
