When I was living in South Jersey, it was a pleasant surprise for me to find out that I don’t have to go to the Midwest to see and learn about Native American culture. Within 20 minutes drive of where I live, there were several powwow events that happen regularly each year. Powwow’s as I observed, are regular social and culture events for the Native American community. The formal ceremony starts with a parade of participant tribes. It would be then followed by speakers, dance performances and  musical performances. It was the first time I’ve ever seen such a cultural event and indeed attending it was all worth it. I was fortunate to be able to attend two of these events during my stay in the U.S.
