THE PLAIN DEALER (June 20, 2006)
Multicultural: Aurora Pow Wow brings entertainment,  education

Did you know that Aurora has been having an authentic Native  American pow 
wow for the last seven years? Yes, right here under our noses. It's  called the 
Pow Wow and Family Festival and it's held indoors (think rain or  shine) at 
Aurora High School.  
For the fourth straight year, the Aurora Pow Wow Committee  (responsible for 
the idea) is teaming up with Kulture Kids, a  nonprofit organization that uses 
the arts to promote multiculturalism and  diversity. Kulture Kids can usually 
be found presenting  cultural awareness and educational programs to schools 
and other  venues throughout Northeast Ohio. 
Aurora's two-day pow wow is a festival celebrating all things  Native 
American. "It has grown every year," says Maxine Klein, chair of the  Aurora Pow Wow 
Committee, "And it truly does have something for everyone.  Children just have 
the best time."  
Activities include kid-friendly, hands-on demonstrations for  corn husk 
dollmaking and weaving, traditional dancing and ceremonies, food,  music, 
storytelling, rituals, artists, and a gift shop. "The authentic teepee is  big hit with 
young and old alike," says Klein. So are the dancers dressed in  native 
regalia.  
This year, the event will take place September 9 and 10 from 11  a.m. to 5 
p.m.. Plan to be there for the grand entry dance circle at 1 p.m. on  both days.
