TUNICA-BILOXI POW WOW SCHOOL PROJECT
The Pow Wow Committee presents programs on Native American
culture for area students on the Tunica-Biloxi Reservation, May 16-17,
2012. This is a rare and valuable opportunity for students to learn
firsthand about Indian cultures from native people.
Call Kayla Johnson for reservations and more information at (800) 946-
1946, extension 1021.
The Tunica-Biloxi Pow Wow Committee will present a series of free
programs on Native American culture for school children from
Avoyelles, Rapides, and surrounding parishes. The programs will be
held at the Chief Joseph “Alcide” Pierite Pow Wow Grounds on the
Tunica-Biloxi Reservation in Marksville, Louisiana, May 16-17, 2012. In
case of inclement weather, the program will be held in the Tunica-
Biloxi gymnasium across from the pow wow grounds.
The presentation will cover various components of an inter-tribal pow
wow highlighting the historical, social, religious, and symbolic
significance of its activities. Adult and children native dancers will
demonstrate the Round Dance along with various other dance styles
seen at pow wows throughout America. Students will be encouraged
to participate in the Round Dance, Two-step, and other inter-tribal
dances. The Alamoosic Lake Singers from the Penobscot Reservation
at Indian Island, Maine, and the Otter Trail Singers from Ardmore,
Oklahoma, will accompany dance demonstrations in northern and
southern styles during the program.
The program will include performances of Indian flute music, poetry
readings, and traditional dances. Indian flute maker and player, Hawk
Henries, Nipmuc, returns to our celebration and to Education Program
this year. The program will also include a presentation of songs and
stories by the Tunica-Biloxi Singers and Legend Keepers. There will
also be an interactive presentation of Native American tools and toys
set in a traditional southeastern home site.
This outreach program is a rare and valuable opportunity for students
to learn firsthand about Indian cultures from native people. The Native
American presenters will be displaying and selling handmade arts and
crafts at the conclusion of the programs.
