Duke Powwow - March 29
The DUKE Powwow is coming up and here are the final details!
The Duke Native American Student Alliance (NASA) will bring a traditional powwow back to Duke’s campus this spring, celebrating the many traditions of Native American peoples. All members of the Duke, Durham, and NC communities are welcome. The Neuse River Flute Circle has been invited to set-up and perform and our flutemakers are welcome to display and sell flutes that day. Chris Bowman, from the American Indian Company, is also planning to have a set-up there as well. After our previous trips to Duke, Jessi Bardill and the NASA are looking forward to having us back. Registration is 11-11:30am and the Grand Entry is at noon, and the dancing ends at 5pm. There will be traditional singing, drumming and dancing, with other segments featuring a Native women’s singing group from UNC and flute music by the Neuse River Flute Circle.
There will be a monitor at the Allen Building parking lot, so just tell them you are with the powwow and they will let you park. If you need to unload anything they will let you pull through the Chapel Circle to drop off. There will be signs to the parking and signs from the parking to the site. If you follow the directions on the link to Duke Chapel, we’ll be on the quad right next to it. We will need to register upon arrival so they know we are there, then they’ll walk us to or point out our setup locat ion and they will have taped a sign on the table.

NOTE: The weather forecast now for Saturday is not good! It looks to be cold (50’s) and possibly wet, neither are good for playing the flute outdoors. If you are coming, dress warm and prepare for rain. We have requested to play early if possible and have told them that all of us would probably not be there the entire time.
We’ll give it a go and see what happens. Let me know if you have any questions!
