Two Red Lake jingle dress dancers participated in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade this year.

Selena Jourdain and her daughter Ivy Rosebear were among those participating as a part of Native Pride Productions, which is under the direction of Larry Yazzie.

Yazzie is also the founder of Native Pride Productions, which is an Indigenous performance company dedicated to preserving and sharing cultural traditions. The theme on Thursday centered on showcasing dancers across generations.

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade draws a crowd in excess of three million people to New York City, and millions more watch it on TV each year.
