The 39th Annual UW-Milwaukee Autumn Powwow displayed a plethora of Native American Crafts, traditional attire and food during the cultural event.
The powwow took place in the Union Ballroom and welcomed people of all ages and cultural backgrounds for free.
A Green Bay gift shop named Turtle Island presented a table of unique arts and crafts made from local artists around the area. All items from Turtle Island at the powwow were from Native American vendors.
Turtle crafts symbolized the Native American referral to North America as they call it “Turtle Island.”
Dream catchers from the Native American Creations stand featured Native American arts and crafts from New Mexico.
A stand named Sunrise Drum Silverwork traveled to the Autumn Pow Wow and displayed the work of Dr. Paul René, who is a professor at Purdue University in Indiana and uses his silver work to helps Native American cultures continue.
Dr. René has practiced his art techniques for over 10 years and illustrated trees, animals, stars, moons and turtles on the pieces.
Traditional Native American attire.
The Milwaukee Indian Education Committee, Inc. was at the event to advertise their non-profit Native American events, giveaways, education opportunities and scholarships.
