The Thunderbird American Indian Dancers bring its Powwow to Enrichment through the Arts on Nov. 24 from 10 to 11:30 am.
The troupe, founded in 1963, aims to teach students about the rich cultural history of Native American culture through the playing of traditional music and storytelling of the Iroquois and Native Peoples of the Northwest Coast, the Southwest, the Plains, and the Arctic regions.
A Powwow is more than just a spectator event, it is a joyous reunion for native peoples to meet with the non-Indian community and share their rich history. It has also come to include dance competitions, exhibitions, and sampling traditional foods. Participants are encouraged to join in.
Tickets are $9, $8 for group rate.
Enrichment through the Arts, 11 Borman Ave. at Rockland Avenue in New Springville, (718) 982-5678.
