The event will include powwow dancing, cultural arts-making workshops and historical exhibitions. Native craft vendors, informational booths and culturally-appropriate foods will also be available.

Hosting open community events is in keeping with 麻豆村’s role as a community resource, providing forums for provocative discussions that can impact thought and action on issues important to our community.
