Description:
Native at Virginia Tech presents the Spring 2018 Powwow on Saturday, March 31, 2018 on the Graduate Life Center Lawn on the campus of Virginia Tech.

Enjoy Native American dancing, drum, singing, food and vendors selling arts, crafts, jewelry, and more.

Doors open at 11:00 am and the Grand Entry begins at Noon.

Admission is free and all are welcome.

In case of rain, the location will be moved to the Old Dominion Ballroom in the Squires Student Center.

Native at Virginia Tech is dedicated to advancing the visibility of American Indians and other Indigenous peoples on campus, as well as raising an awareness of the issues that confront these diverse populations. Anyone is welcome to join this organization.

Please observe the following etiquette tips shared by powwow organizers:

• Listen to the emcees. They will provide direction at all times (when it is appropriate to remove hats and caps, when photos are not allowed, etc.).

• Dress respectfully. Avoid revealing attire, costumes, or headdresses.

• Do not touch the dancers or their regalia.

• Ask before you take a photo of individuals outside the arena and never enter the dance arena for a photo. Remember to listen to the emcee to learn when photos are allowed.

• Feel free to talk (at appropriate times) with those around you. Ask about what you don’t understand. Many will be eager to share and explain their indigenous culture and knowledge.
