Members of over 50 Native American tribes gathered this weekend for the 39th annual Pow-Wow, during which dancers performed a special healing ceremony to celebrate women on Mother's Day and also honored Cody Lavender '10, a Native American student who died during his junior year at the College, according to Master of Ceremonies Alex Shepherd.
A significantly larger crowd than in recent years amassed on the Green on Sunday to watch Native American dances, eat traditional fry bread and learn about the culture and history of various tribes, Daryl Concha '11, a member of the Pow-Wow committee, said.
