Cultural Night Presents
Chi'Chino Spirit O'oodham Dance Group

This group first started in 2006, and we are originally from the Gila River Indian Community. However today, their group has members from “Gila River, Salt River, and Tohono O’Odham communities”. They share the songs and dances of the Akimel O’Odham (Pima) people taught to them by their great grandparents, relatives and friends…some of whom have passed away. They’ve showcased their rich culture to huge audiences including the Phoenix Suns, Phoenix Mercury, and the March Madness “Final Four 2024” halftime show.
