CHAPEL HILL, NC -
The Carolina Indian Circle held its 21st Annual Pow Wow on March 2 in Fetzer
Gymnasium. More than 4,000 people attended the annual event, held to teach
community about Native American culture and promote unity and friendship among
the tribes, particularly N.C. tribes. The event is also a place to pass down
traditional culture to future generations and to help UNC recruit Native American
students.
Activities included traditional children’s crafts to teach culture,
traditional dance and drum competitions, vendors displaying Native American
artwork and a health fair in which UNC LIneberger participated.
