33rd Annual Children's Powwow a success

Email This PagePrint This Page

Irene, 2009 Miss St. Joseph's!
"When I dance at powwow, I feel proud, brave and respectful. I feel like I honor my people."

Irene and Dean earned recognition as powwow royalty. They epitomize strong Lakota values and represent the best qualities in all of our boys and girls.

Over 201 child dancers and seven drum groups participated in our weekend events. Nearly 400 friends and family members from around the country took part in our Friday evening banquet an event which is completely funded by our valued business partners.

Words can’t convey the thrill and excitement rippling through our campus during the powwow. To see children, families and friends come together in celebration and honor of the Lakota culture was a moving experience.

Our students and their friends showcase their culture in such a magnificent, colorful way … the entire powwow experience is magical.

All of us are so proud of the way our boys and girls represent themselves and their people. We hope you are proud of them, too!

Your committed care and support, makes it possible for these youngsters to flourish and thrive in such a stable, loving environment.

 

The fancy dance is Daryl's favorite!
"I feel proud and happy - even happier to see my family there watching me."

Enjoy the powwow video we posted on YouTube. There’s nothing quite like attending our powwow in person, but this is a close second!

If you are interested in attending our 34th annual powwow which will be held on September 18, 2010. Registration will begin May 1, 2010.
