Delwin Fiddler, Jr., Performing Artist

Delwin Fiddler, Jr. is a member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe and a world renowned Native American performance artist. He enjoys being able to share songs, dances and flute playing from the Lakota Native American nation. Mr. Fiddler is also an expert at giving guided, historic tours of Native American ancestral lands. According to several Native American prophecies, the present time on this earth is considered a critical time in history for the wellbeing of our planet. Mr. Fiddler has dedicated his life to singing, dancing and praying to protecting Mother Earth. Native American dances are done in traditional Lakota regalia and include hoop dancing, grass dancing, round dancing and buffalo dancing. Mr. Fiddler is prepared to discuss the origin and meaning of his hoop and grass dances, as well as Native American spirituality.

In 2025, Delwin has released his PBS Documentary, Without Arrows depicting his journey living on and off the reservation. He looks forward to sharing his story and using the film as a vehicle to reach wider audiences.

In 2019, Delwin formed a non-profit called PAZA, Tree of Life to preserve his cultural traditions and bring healing to all people through education and cultural exchange. He formed a performance group called "The PAZA Experience" which includes his partner Samora Free (singer, musician, dancer) and a variety of other performing artists throughout the land.
