Omak will celebrate its 25th Annual United Pow Wow May 4 at the Omak Tribal Long House. The free, public event will feature dinner and a series of "grand entries" that begin at 1 p.m. Dinner will begin at 5 p.m. Vaughn Eagle Bear will serve as master of ceremonies. Shonto Pete will be the Arena Director. All drummers and dancers are welcome, and host drums will be chosen at each session.
The Native Language Class at Omak High School created this year's event slogan ""Unite Against Bullying: Speak From Your Heart." The United
Pow Wow committee will hand out a limited number of t-shirts printed with the slogan to those participants who pledge to be drug and alcohol free.
This drug- and alcohol-free event is funded by the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation through a grant from the Gathering of Native Americans (GONA), the tribe's Drug and Alcohol Program, and Omak CART. It is sponsored by the Wenatchee Valley College at Omak Red Road Association, the Omak School District Salish Language class, Qsapai Project, and Omak CART.
