Daily Dance: Native American Celebrates Biden Win

This Navajo and Tewa man, Ashkia ‘Kia’ Randy Trujillo, spontaneously performed a traditional dance in celebration after learning of Joe Biden’s victory over Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election. The footage, captured by photojournalism student Sharon Chrischilly, went viral garnering over 5 million views on social media. Trujillo told NBC News that the dance “tells of how a battle was won and how the evil was pushed away.” His joy is infectious. By the way, Trujillo cleared up some confusion some had about his red hat. It wasn’t a MAGA hat but a Chicago Bulls hat.
