IAIA announces spring powwow
A variety of dances will be performed when the Institute of American Indian Arts hosts its 2009 Spring Homecoming Powwow on May 9 at the campus, 83 Avan Nu Po Road. The event is free and open to the public, but the school encourages guests to bring their own chairs. The powwow will include Head Man Kit Julianto and Head Lady M.J. Schenandoah, both IAIA students; Otis Halfmoon; Arena Director Bryan Tsosie, an IAIA staff member; Head Gourd Dancer Mark Swazo Hinds, an IAIA alumnus; Northern Drum, Black Eagle from Jemez Pueblo; and Southern Drum, the Zotigh Singers from Albuquerque. Gourd dancing is scheduled at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., while the Grand Entry takes place at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. A community potluck dinner featuring multicultural foods is set for 5 p.m. Among other activities, an academic open house is planned from noon to 5 p.m., so visitors can learn more about the four-year college.
