On special occasions, our school sponsors a powwow to provide an opportunity for our children and community members to join us in the promotion of our Native American heritage.
Some students participate in the competition dancing or dance for the fun of it.
Others prefer to practice singing with drum groups or simply meet friends and watch. Many dancers and singers from local communities and nearby reservations often come to join us. Our powwow's are open to everyone and the public is always welcome to attend. This was a chance for visitors of all tribes to tour our new school and to enjoy the festivities. This was the largest N.I.E.A. pow wow ever hosted to date.
