MTSU Indigenous Peoples' Powwow
Donation protected
The Native American Student Association of Middle Tennessee State University proudly hosts the Indigenous Peoples’ Powwow this February 24-26, 2017 at the Middle Tennessee State University Tennessee Livestock Center!
At one time, MTSU was in the top ten Powwows in the country! After nearly 10 years, the Native American Student Association will renew this incredible tradition and sponsor an Intertribal Powwow Dance Competition for the Middle Tennessee community.
* Experience social dances and special dances like the Hoop Dance, Chicken Dance, and a Trail of Tears sponsored dance, honoring those that walked.
* Ron Colombe, Lakota Author, and Dennis Clause bring the oral tradition of Storytelling and Jamie Oxendine will share true stories of the Eastern Woodland period.
* Native American Music Award Nominee, RyanMolina and JaimeChavez, from the Incan Villages of Ecuador, delight our hearts and visions with the music of their people.
* Niles Aseret, Navajo; CODE TALKERS: NEED FOR NATIONAL RECOGNITION DAY
~Impact and Importance of Native Languages to WWII Military Strategy
*UNESCO recognized craft vendors with works in the Smithsonian offer their wares.

Come make pottery and learn the traditional ways of pit firing with Mary T Newman. Join championship dancers traveling from the Canadian Tundra of the Cree Nation to the Aztec Dancers of South America.
Supporting events Friday Feb 24 include:
*Indigenous Issues Forum: Native Communities speak on Social, Environmental, and Leadership successes, both experienced and sought
* Renown Seneca blues artist, ButchMudbone, performs at JazzMaTazz 9:00 PM, Old Fort Parkway, Murfreesbor, TN
Saturday and Sunday include an Honoring of Native and Non-Native Veterans
Special activities for kids on Saturday will welcome kids to come experience what they will not find in their school texts and elevate their understanding of this world in which we live.
Each of these artists, dancers, drummers, performers, honored guests and staff will have travel, lodging, food, and performance costs associated with producing this incredible event for all here in Tennessee.
Your investment will enable us to provide our community with a vibrant cultural experience. Proceeds from the event will launch our Student Organization in self-sufficiency by enabeling us to offer more opportunities for cultural experiences in the future.
We welcome you to come to experience the Indigenous People’s Powwow this February, 24-26, at the Middle Tennessee State University Tennessee Livestock Center! Check out the Indigenous Peoples’ Powwow at MTSU for more information!
