Why SA Funded the Pow-Wow
By Yuki Kondo-Shah | February 5, 2007The Student Assembly Constitution preamble directs the representative organization "to foster trust, understanding and communication between and among the members of the Dartmouth community, to provide for the support and development of all aspects of the educational process, to improve the quality of life at the College." The majority of the students in the Assembly, including myself, chair of the Diversity and Community Committee, believe that supporting the Native American Pow-Wow through participation and funding clearly fits these goals. This year's 35th annual Dartmouth Pow-Wow serves as an opportunity for members of both the Dartmouth and Upper Valley communities to observe, participate and learn from a broad representation of Native American dances, music and arts and crafts.
