Dancing Moccasins
April 24 & 25, 2010
Frisco, NC
On April 24 and 25, 2010, individuals will have an opportunity to spend two days immersed in Native American culture as the
Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center presents
Dancing Moccasins,
A Celebration of Native American Cultures – Past and Present.
In addition to the Powwow, the weekend will include more than 50 exciting programs and activities appropriate for all ages—from toddlers to centenarians.
The purpose of the festival will be to provide such powerful and inviting sensory experiences that learning almost takes place by “osmosis”. From the sounds of native drums and singing, to the smell of fry bread and the tangy taste of buffalo chili, to the images of intricate crafts and the delights of molding clay, shaping stone, stringing beads, or weaving baskets, participants will not observe or “hear about” Native American culture—they will experience it up close and personal!
Opens at 10:00 both days. For more information: nativeamericanmuseum.org
