AISA Presents Augsburg's 2nd Traditional Powwow

Augsburg's Indigenous Student Association (AISA)'s
2nd Traditional Powwow
Saturday, March 20, 2010
Si Melby Gymnasium, Augsburg College Campus

Grand Entries (Start times): 1:00 PM and 7:00 PM
Community Feast: 5:00 PM
NO Admission fee - FREE!
There will be several vendors (craft/products and non-profit organizations) as well as a concession with Indian Tacos for sale by AISA.

Please note for those unfamiliar with a Powwow that a Grand Entry is the 'start' of a session where all the dancers come into the circle together. A session typically goes 3 hours and people are welcome to come and go throughout the day, however, if you have never experienced a grand entry I would suggest doing so. It is truly a cultural experience. We will take a break for a feast, in which all are invited, and the second session will start with the grand entry at 7:00 PM and will end around 9:30 PM. Within the sessions, there will be a variety of dances by category or

Augsburg hosted the first Powwow on campus last March, having close to 3,000 people throughout the day and hosting 14 drum groups and over 200 Native dancers. It was a huge success and we are looking forward to year #2.

Any questions or if you would like to get involved and/or co-sponsor this year's Powwow, please contact Jennifer Simon, Director of American Indian Student Services and Advisor to AISA at 612.330.1144 or simonj@augsburg.edu

Augsburg, Petrich in Today's New York Times

Augsburg's Ron Petrich and baseball coach Keith Bateman were interviewed and featured in a story in today's (Wednesday 3/17) New York Times in an article regarding early-spring baseball at the Metrodome.

Read the story online:
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/17/sports/baseball/17twins.html?scp=1&sq=metrodome&st=cse

Petrich, who coached the Auggie baseball team from 1980-92 and is now and assistant professor of education, has scheduled games for college and high school teams from throughout the Midwest at the Metrodome since 1984. More than 100 teams will play games at the Metrodome from February to early April. Games are literally held around the clock.

Reporter Pat Borzi documented a day of games last Wednesday, when Augsburg played Wisconsin-Whitewater at the Metrodome following the University of Minnesota's game against St. Thomas. The Augsburg-Whitewater game started at 11:16 p.m. and ended at 1:34 a.m., with a junior varsity game between the two teams going until 3:01 a.m.
