Powwow 102: Learning to Walk Together (While Apart)

Powwow 102: Learning to Walk Together (While Apart)

Native American Studies

In place of the annual in-person Learning to Walk Together Powwow, Northern Michigan University’s Native American Student Association (NASA) and the Center for Native American Studies present: Powwow 102: Learning to Walk Together (While Apart) on Saturday, March 26th, 1 - 4pm Eastern over Zoom and live streamed on NASA’s Facebook page @nmunasa. 

This event will expand on the curriculum offered during last year’s Powwow 101 event by NMU NASA, which can be found on the @nmunasa Facebook page. Powwow 102 is an educational breakdown of a traditional Native American powwow, including demonstrations by dancers and talks by traditional advisors. Framed much like a powwow’s grand entry, you will first hear the sounds of the traditional drum for an opening song, followed by talks on a range of topics from the importance of regalia and beadwork, to providing tips on proper etiquette when attending a powwow. 

There will be an extended period dedicated to audience discussion, only available to Zoom participants. Additionally, Zoom participants will be entered into a raffle for the chance to win e-gift cards to local businesses! Attend via Zoom to participate in this discussion and be entered into the raffle, otherwise, watch the livestream on the @nmunasa Facebook page for the duration of the event. 

We can all learn to walk together this way, while apart! 

This is a free event with donations encouraged. Donations will fund social activities for the Native American Student Association such as movie nights, educational field trips, and more.
