Each school year, American Indian Education Programs from Districts in the South Metro area collaborate to bring unique educational experiences for all ages.
Join us to learn traditional American Indian pow wow songs and dances. You will learn about the different dance styles, their stories and the steps. Our young boys and men will be taught drum songs and protocols while at the drum.
Please register to participate in Drum & Dance classes, contact your District's American Indian Education Program Liaison.
We will continue to meet throughout the school year leading up to our SOUTH OF THE RIVER POWWOW on Saturday May 4, 2024 at Burnsville High School – mark your calendars!
