Last updated on November 12, 2008

The committee's mission is to hold a Native American Heritage Festival for the first time at Wayne Community College. Through traditional ceremonies that focus on dance and music, we hope to educate people about Native American culture in a way that is both authentic and enjoyable.Also called a “Pow Wow,” this type of ceremony has a long and rich history across various tribal cultures, giving Native Americans a chance to come together in a spirit of unity and sharing amongst themselves and with the public. Authentic clothing styles will be worn, representing various tribes, regions and time frames. Vendors will also be selling traditional Native American crafts and foods inspired by various Native cultures.

Description:
Wayne Community College would like to invite you to be a part of our first Native American Heritage Festival. Our committee is currently obtaining sponsors, publicizing, recruiting volunteers, and obtaining supplies. This is a big venture and look for additional support from the community. Faculty and staff members of Wayne Community College, the Arts Council of Wayne County, and Goldsboro Travel and Tourism are working to make this a special event.

History:
This committee was formed in November 2007 to create the festival / pow wow.
