More than 2,000 American Indians and First Nation Peoples from tribes in the United States and Canada will rendezvous at the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ at Boulder on April 17 and 18 for the third annual "Red Nations Cultural Unity Celebration Contest Pow-Wow."
Pow-wow events will be held in the Coors/Events Conference Center.
A pow-wow is a cultural celebration featuring native speakers, performers, writers and artists. This year's event is sponsored by the Oyate American Indian Student Organization at CU-Boulder. Oyate encourages people of native and non-native ancestry to attend the pow-wow to learn more about many cultures.
Dancers will compete for prize money in 18 categories. Host Drums from Oklahoma, Montana and Canada will provide music for the pow-wow. Native arts and crafts, and native foods, also will be featured.
The pow-wow will run Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. CU-Boulder students, children under age 7 and adults over age 60 are admitted free of charge. Admission is $3 for a day pass and $5 for a weekend pass. Proceeds from the event will go to support the Oyate student organization.
