Community Pow Wow set to go

May 19, 2018 | 8:00 AM

The thundering of the big drum will fill Kinsmen Park this weekend.

The Heart of the Youth Community Pow Wow will open with a grand entry at 10 a.m. Friday, May 25 at Kinsmen Park.

“In past years there has been an annual Pow Wow organized by community school coordinators that involved student [and] youth participation as organizers, attendees, drummers, dancers and volunteers,” organizers said in a statement.

Many schools still promote Pow Wow dancing, hoop dancing and traditional drumming, organizers said, but having a community Pow Wow provides those same students with a place to showcase their talents.
