The North Carolina School of Science & Mathematics hosted its 29th annual Native American Powwow virtually on Feb. 6. The public event featured traditional Native American dancers, musicians and artists from across North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. A group of NCSSM students who wanted to educate others on the traditional teachings of their culture started the celebration in 1992. “This powwow is such an important tradition and celebration for us at NCSSM,” Chancellor Todd Roberts said in the virtual video. “ … While a virtual powwow is certainly not the same as the one we host on our campus, it does allow us all to come together in spite of COVID-19 to celebrate the amazing culture of the eight Native American tribes in North Carolina.” 1 Rob Andrews, NCSSM associate director of admissions, and Zoey Locklear, this year’s motivational speaker from the Coharie tribe. 2 Kaya Littleturtle presented the “honor song” over video. 3 NCSSM Chancellor Todd Roberts.
