Thousands of people came from throughout Maryland to enjoy the 28th
Annual PowWow at CCBC Catonsville in August.
More than $11,000 in prize money was awarded to the winners of a dance
contest. Other scheduled activities included basket making and
storytelling. Nearly 20 vendors from North Carolina, New York, Michigan,
Maryland and Florida showcased and sold authentic Native American
jewelry, drawings, food, music, clothing, books and arts and crafts.
"This year's PowWow was the best in the history of the event," said
Dennis Seymour, event coordinator at CCBC Catonsville. "It's important
for the public to realize that there are Native Americans among us and
that the traditions and culture are passed on and shared with everyone
through PowWow".
The event was sponsored by the Baltimore American Indian Center and the
Native American Indian Student Association of CCBC Catonsville.
Did you know? CCBC ranks 18th in the nation in awarding associate's
degrees to Native Americans (per the June 24, 2002 issue of Community
College Week).
