The American Indian Club (Awke:kon) and the Native American Cultural Advisory Committee at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics (NCSSM) will host the 21st annual American Indian Powwow on Saturday, February 4, 2012. American Indians from North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia will be in attendance at the event, which will feature music, dance, arts, crafts and food in the Charles R. Eilber Physical Education Center (PEC) on NCSSM's campus.

As a way to further bolster its relationship with the American Indian community, NCSSM will also host its Dreammakers program the day of the Powwow. Now in its 12th year, Dreammakers is designed to give students in grades seven through nine a chance to familiarize themselves with NCSSM academics and student life. During the day, students get the chance to meet with admissions representatives, participate in interactive learning presentations, and take part in the “NCSSM Experience” and the American Indian Powwow. The event will be held before the Powwow, from 9:00 a.m. to noon on the NCSSM campus.

This year's Powwow is open to the public at noon, witht the Grand Entry beginning at 1 p.m.
 

There will be a $5 admission fee accepted at the door, good for the entire day, and children ages 5 and under will be admitted for free.

NCSSM students are admitted for free.
