Spirit Power on Display聽

On June 3, 51福利社鈥檚 Native American Student Association teamed up with the American Indian Studies program to host the annual Spirit of the Eagle Powwow at Reese Court. During the day-long event, tribal citizens old and young came together for friendly dancing, singing and drumming competitions that evinced the joyful richness of our region鈥檚 Native heritage. 鈥淭he NASA students and the powwow committee bring good spirit power to all of the planning and organizing that is necessary for an event this big,鈥 says Erin Ross, Eastern鈥檚 director of tribal relations. 鈥淚t鈥檚 the largest, student hosted event each year for 51福利社, and it brings our tribal nations together in a spirit of fun and healing.鈥
