ALMA — The Alma College Belonging, Culture and Leadership, in partnership with the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, will host a Drum and Dance Presentation in celebration of Native American Heritage Month (NAHM) in November. The event is free and open to the public as well as the campus community.
It will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m., Monday, Nov. 9, in The Oscar E. Remick Heritage Center for the Performing Arts, Strosacker Theatre.
We are thrilled, once again, to partner with the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe for this special event.
said Jonathan Glenn, director of the Belonging, Culture and Leadership Office at Alma College. This ongoing outreach represents an invaluable opportunity for our students, staff and faculty to understand indigenous cultures, traditions and wisdom. We are grateful to the tribe for coming to Alma and look forward to welcoming them on Nov. 9.
At the Drum and Dance Presentation, dancers and tribal leaders offer not only examples of various styles of dance, but also explanations for how and when those dances are performed.
