I hope that all of you are enjoying the beautiful spring weatherJ This last weekend, I had an incredible opportunity to attend the Denver Pow Wow and it was such an amazing experience. Our UNC admissions team headed to Denver for the weekend to promote our fantastic university. For those of you who are not familiar with the Pow Wow, it is an event where Native Americans gather to share their cultures and ways of life. They also have many competitions where they perform sacred dances that hold incredible meaning to each tribe. Tribes from far and wide congregate at this event and it’s one of the largest Pow Wow’s around. I had the honor of learning how to do the Shall Dance on the Denver Coliseum floor where I was surrounded by numerous Native American dancers. Besides the dancing, there was gorgeous art work and incredible handmade outfits (also known as regalia). Not to mention, the AMAZING food! If you have never had an Indian Taco, put it on your list of must haves!!! These tasty treats are made on fry bread and topped with your traditional taco toppings. The line circles around the main floor of the coliseum, but let me tell you, IT IS WORTH THE WAIT. J We had great success as a UNC team and were able to meet so many wonderful people. This event was the experience of a lifetime and definitely broadened my horizons.
