Cumberland County Schools’ (CCS) Office of Indian Education recently hosted its annual Exhibition Powwow in observance of American Indian Heritage Month (November) in the Cumberland County Crown Theatre.
In a vibrant showcase of American Indian culture, the Powwow served as a dynamic learning experience for many fourth-grade students from across the district. The event highlighted the music, dance and traditions that reflect the rich heritage and enduring contributions of American Indian communities.
This year’s Powwow featured an array of captivating performances, including traditional dances, a hoop dancer and cultural presentations that invited students to explore the beauty and depth of Native traditions.
CCS Office of Indian Education Coordinator Candice Revels commented on the significance of the event. “The Office of Indian Education is honored to continue this tradition of sharing Native culture with fourth-grade students and connecting with our local tribes in meaningful and engaging ways.”
Through this celebration, students engaged with the stories, artistry and spirit that continue to shape the identity and history of American Indian communities. The event, once again, served as a reminder of the importance of cultural understanding and appreciation within Cumberland County Schools.
