Documentary connects Indigenous tribes from Iowa, Hawaii and Mexico through dance

In 1883, the U.S. Department of the Interior created a Code of Indian Offenses — it made Native dancing and ceremonies illegal and gave Indian Agents authority to punish anyone who violated the code. This was part of a systematic effort to erase individual tribal cultures and to force all indigenous people to assimilate. The documentary Why We Dance takes viewers into the heart of Indigenous communities around North America in Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota, Hawaii and Mexico. It's a film about heritage, connection, joy and cultural resilience.

Inside the National Czech and Slovak Museum, Cedar Rapids Tells Its Immigrant Story Plainly

A whole museum building once moved 480 feet to higher ground. It weighed about 1,500 tons, and crews set it 11 feet above its old spot. That happened after a terrible flood in 2008. I can’t imagine watching a building that size creep across the ground. The move worked,...

Cedar Rapids ventriloquist treated with jokes on Halloween

CEDAR RAPIDS — You’ve got to work for your goodies when trick-or-treating at the Naughtons’ house. Dennis Naughton, a Cedar Rapids lawyer and a semi-professional ventriloquist, has kids tell a joke in exchange for a treat. He’s been doing that for around a decade, with some families telling him their kids pick out and practice their jokes in advance of Halloween. Naughton already is jittery at 4:30 p.m. Halloween night. Dressed in a Revolutionary War costume repurposed from the America 250 celebration, his eyes dart to the window as he waits for the first trick-or-treater to arrive. His skeleton assistant, Bonehead, sits ready on his stool on the Naughtons’ front porch on Grand Avenue SE. Bonehead is a bit of a mess. His head is a different color from his body, his jaw sits at an angle and his eyes bulge in two different directions. He’s oddly endearing, as if he’s used to being the butt of the joke himself. When visitors arrive, Naughton pulls a metal grip in Bonehead’s rib cage, and the skeleton explains the rules for a treat in a grating voice. Some kids aren’t sure how to approach Bonehead.
