The
name Sa-Cinn means "hummingbird" in the West Coast Native
language. The history of Sa-Cinn is based on a song which originally
belonged to Dr. George Clutesi's mother (Winona's
great-uncle). Winona's mother, Pearl Brown, put
the song to a dance and performed the "Hummingbird Dance"
to honor her Uncle in 1952. The present Queen of England and Prince
Phillip witnessed the dance at Thunderbird Park, adjacent to the Royal
British Columbia Museum in Victoria, B.C., Canada. Pearl's Uncle instructed
her on how to move by encouraging her to watch the hummingbird's movements.
The dance consists of darting about and hovering in one spot for short
moments only. The dance is very difficult to do and only a few have
mastered it today. Pearl Brown's performances were limited, as she died
a few years later in 1955. Her performances are still talked about and
remembered with great pride by the West Coast people.
