Keepers of the Peace Powwow

Cadets of the Native American Heritage Forum (NAHF) organized and hosted the 6th annual Keepers of the Peace powwow held at Gillis Field House. The master of ceremonies for the powwow was the Redhawk Native American Arts Council. The powwow included the singing of the National Anthem by Cadet Katelin Guettlein, a birds of prey expert who presented two shows that described how owls, hawks, and eagles hunt and capture prey, and traditional Native American singing, and dancing. The Native American vendors sold beadwork and other handmade articles and the food vendor had plenty of venison and buffalo. The event includes midshipman from the Naval Academy’s Native American club joining the powwow.
