Native American Events Planned

Thu, Feb 09, 2012

As part of Native American Awareness Week, the Native American Student Association (NASA) at Colgate is hosting an Iroquois social dance Monday, from 4:30 p.m.to 7 p.m.  
Diane Schenandoah and the Oneida Dancers will lead the dancing, and traditional foods will be provided by Iroquois Eatery. The social dance will be held in the Hall of Presidents in the James C. Colgate Student Union.  
Although the social dance is free, NASA is seeking donations in any amount for a student-led project that benefits Lakota children.
