An American Indian powwow celebration, traditional cuisine, lectures and documentary films are just a few of the activities planned for American Indian Awareness Week from April 8-13.
All activities are free and open to the public.
The events are sponsored by the Kathryn M. Buder Center for American Indian Studies at the George Warren Brown School of Social Work in conjunction with the American Indian Center of Mid-America. Activities culminate with a powwow from 1 to 10 p.m. April 13 in the Field House. The sixth annual powwow includes American Indian dancers, trading booths, music and food. Special ceremonies include gourd and blanket dancing, intertribal dance contests, and songs.
