American Indian Day & Powwow

From American Indian Day & Powwow Website:

A traditional Lakota (Sioux) powwow helps Native American children, like those at St. Joseph's Indian School, appreciate their culture, develop pride in their heritage and share their traditions with friends like you from around the nation.

Since 1976, St. Joseph's Indian School has hosted an annual weekend of Lakota culture on our Chamberlain, South Dakota campus.

Visitors are welcomed and encouraged to attend many or all of our powwow activities.

Guests enjoy free Native American cultural activities like:

A tiyospaye - extended family - banquet on Friday night
Cultural Activities - Hand drum demonstration, dreamcatcher crafting, Lakota food demonstration and more!
Tours of St. Joseph's campus, school and the children's homes
An all day powwow dance competition for Lakota children of all ages
Indian drum group competition
Traditional Lakota (Sioux) meals
And much, much more!
