Powwow
celebrates
culture

Feathers flying, bells jingling and dancers soar
ing were all part of the 10th Annual Inter-Tribal
Powwow.
The powwow, which was put on by the
University of Nebraska Inter-Tribal Exchange, is
the organization’s biggest event and is usually held
in November as a way to share American-Indian
culture with the university and community.
The organization makes “the (American
Indian) culture known and visible, on campus and
also as a place for Indian students to show support
for others,” said

University of _
Nebraska- Native American
Events such as spirituality
these are impor- Tr TT
tant not only for KEVIN HAGEMOSER
the organization, entrepreneur
but for American " 1 1
Indians, as well,
Long Soldier said. In general, she said, there is “not
a lot going on to reflect Native-American culture.”
The powwow also served as a way to make
UNITE known among students. UNITE’s secre
tary, Amelia Stoll, a junior Spanish and English
major, said American Indians and non-American
Indians can be part of the organization.
The event also was a way for American Indians
to join together for celebration. “I came here to be
with relatives and friends,” says Rick Coons, a car
penter from Pine Ridge, S.D.
The powwow, held on Sunday, included inter
tribal dancing and contests.Anyone danced; even
those who would be competing against one another
danced together.
The competition was divided into categories
and ages. At Sunday’s event, about a dozen children
in elaborate garments danced and delighted audi
ences. Along with the dancers, more than 150 peo
ple came to enjoy the festivities.
Long Soldier said some University
Foundations classes were requiring students to
attend as a diversity activity.
Others, such as Coons, came because they
“enjoy powwows.”
Other people came for more personal reasons.
“I came because 1 think everyone can learn
from Native-American spirituality. It is such a part
of their everyday lives,” said Kevin Hagemoser, an
entrepreneur from Lincoln.
One of the highlights of the powwow was the
celebration of a 5-year-old girl’s birthday.
First, the girl danced for everyone. Then she
was joined in a moving line by her family. During
this time, others were urged to come up and shake
her hand, offer her encouragement and then join die
line until it became a circle.
Many aspects of American-Indian culture
could be seen at the powwow. Dancing, singing,
drums and, most importantly, die sharing of a her
itage steeped in tradition, were seen.
“It is a way to see the Native-American cul
ture,” Stoll said.
