The Paza Experience

Join us in the Coolidge Theatre for a screening of "Without Arrows – 13 Years in the Life of a Lakota Family"

John Olshefski, a film professor from Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey, approached Delwin Fiddler in 2008 to tell the story of his life on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation in South Dakota. His raw footage tells the story of Delwin's impoverished life on the reservation to being a Boarding School survivor to creating Native Nations Dance Theater in Philadelphia, PA, followed by a tour around the world, and performing for two U.S. Presidents and the Royals in England. Their relationship and the filming of this documentary has spanned 15 years of friendship, the death of Delwin's father, the birth of Delwin's daughter, Kassi and multiple trips back and forth to the reservation to chronicle the life of this one Native Indian man's journey.
