Death of Nakotah LaRance

"I MET NAKOTAH AND HIS FATHER STEVE AT THE RANKOKUS INDIAN RESEVATION IN N.J. AROUND THE YEAR OF 1997. I WAS IMPRESSED BY THE EXTREME TALENTS OF NAKOTAH.ALSO, IT WAS A PLEASURE IN MEETING STEVE WHO IMPRESSED ME AS A KIND AND EXTREME GENTLEMAN. JUST LEARNED OF NAKOTAHS PASSING LAST NIGHT ON YOU TUBE. MAY THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY CONTINUE TO HEAL THE FAMILY AND ALL WHO LOVE NAKOTAH."

"Such a heartbreaking loss. The talent this young man shared with the world will live on in many ways, not least the young lives of future dancers he inspired. I wish he’d had more time to pass on the teachings. To Nakotah’s family, friends, and all his relations, I hope your pain is replaced with the joy of your memories."

"Dear Family,
I would like to apologize for the typos in the earlier message sent today. Nakota was a unique dancer. He will
be remembered with great admiration. I was happy to have danced in a circle with him at the Heard one Friday evening during a presentation.
sincerely,
Jane Kincaid"

"Dear LaRance Family and Lightning Boy Foundation members and student dancers, I am so sorry for your loss.
Majors was amazing. I am thankful to have watched him dance for 5 years at the Heard Museum. Hopefully we will all be able to come together in 2022 and honor him in person. Best wishes to all of his students. I shall wear my Lightning Boy t-shirt proudly.
My deep sympathy fir your loss.

"Miss his essence"

"As I watched you hoop dance I was mesmerized by every dance move, maneuvering each hoop and creating symbols of Mother Nature, that was truly magical.
I was deeply saddened to hear of your passing and thought no this cannot be true, I did not know you however I cried and thought about how devastating your parents, family, friends and all those life’s you touched must be.
I am sure each step that you walked up the golden ladder to heaven was amazing.
Rest In Peace Nakota!"
