Annual Celebrations of Native American Heritage

Each year, Native American Services helps partner with other organizations in the Southeast Region when possible.

Many forms of art are included in the events/programs.  Authentic Native American artists can present workmanship and offer their works for sale.  Performing artist  as some events will include Native American dancers and professional musicians.  Live demonstrations and working exhibits provide attendees at Native American events provide a hands-on learning experience.

Educational opportunities include such activities as storytelling, bow making, traditional lodging exhibits, beading, different styles of weaving, shell and wood carving, flint-knapping (arrowheads), corn husk crafts, and a blow gun demonstration.  These various forms of art allows attendees an opportunity for an up close and personal look at Cherokee and Native American heritage and culture.

We encourage anyone to attend these events when possible for a learning experience in the Native American culture.
