The highly anticipated annual Pow Wow at Cal State Long Beach is once again expected to draw in 6,000 attendees with its festival of Native American art, music, and more.
The student-sponsored event is in its 40th year of running and features 250 dancers of Native American background displaying their traditions and culture through the art of dance and music.
According to the Daily 49er, the event will feature many different types of dances including, "a social dance, couples dance, rabbit dance, owl dance and Oklahoma two-step." There will also be a special dance and prayer honoring those who have died in the last year.
There will be the use of drums, prayer, and singing groups, accompanying the dances in many different native languages.
Craig Stone, CSULB American Indian Studies professor, describes the coming event as "not show per se, but a celebration."
Admission and parking is free for the two-day event scheduled for March 13-14 at the CSULB upper quad area.
