TUNICA-BILOXI POW WOW SCHOOL PROJECT
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 project will be held on May 12-13, 2010. This is a
rare and valuable opportunity for students to learn firsthand about Indian
cultures from native people.
The programs will be held at the Chief Joseph “Alcide” Pierite Pow Wow
Grounds on the Tunica-Biloxi Reservation in Marksville, Louisiana. In case of
inclement weather, the program will be held in the Mari Showroom at Paragon
Casino Resort.
The presentation will cover various components of an inter-tribal pow wow
highlighting the historical, social, religious, and symbolic significance of its
activities. Native American dancers will demonstrate the grand entry Round
Dance along with various other dance styles. Students will be encouraged to
participate in the Round Dance, Two-step, and other inter-tribal dances.
The program will include performances of Indian drum music, story telling, and
traditional dances. 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.
There is limited amount of space for each program, so please make your
reservations early.
