PowWow drummers and singers provide the music to which the dancers move in cultural celebration of their heritage. Native American dance is alive and dynamic, a reflection of tribal heritage and personal style. The graceful steps of the dancers, the beat to which they move, and the traditional regalia that they wear embody their tribal affiliation and ancestry. The history of the powwow passes from generation to generation when people gather yearly for a celebration of culture. http://www.nanticokeindians.org/powwow.cfm or 302-945-3400.
