Longmont Public Library is offering an introduction to powwow traditions on Nov. 20, with a drum circle, dancing, trivia and room for questions. The city announced the free Sacred Circle program Nov. 4 as part of Native American Heritage Month.
The event runs from 2 to 4 p.m. in the library meeting rooms at 355 Emery Street. All ages and families are welcome. Library staff encourage people to arrive 15 minutes early because seating is limited.
The program will discuss different dance styles, honor songs and special dances, with an emphasis on learning what those traditions mean. The library is presenting it with support from the Denver Indian Family Resource Center and Children, Youth and Families. This library program is separate from the city’s Nov. 14 heritage celebration at the Senior Center.
