Opening of Exhibit Kicks off with a PowWow
Native American-themed Family Day officially opens exhibit, Sept. 4, 2004
The San Jacinto Museum of History will open its new yearlong exhibit, Texas Originals: Real and Imagined, with an exciting Native American-themed Family Day: Celebrations in Tradition.
From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, September 4, visitors will enjoy Native American dances, traditional American Indian foods, such as Frybread and Indian tacos, crafting demonstrations and more. Also featured during this Family Day is Dean Shostak, who will play the 1819 fiddle reputed to have belonged to David Crockett.
Erwin De Luna, president of United San Antonio Pow Wow, Inc., is helping organize the event.
"The powwow is a cultural event, which is not just spoken, but lived," De Luna said. "Through the powwow, we [the American Indian] can pass these traditions to our children and grandchildren so that the culture can be maintained and enriched. We are teaching them [the children] the honored ways of the past."
The powwow ties in with the Native American section of the Texas Originals exhibit. Among the Native American artifacts on display are Lower Pecos fiber artifacts, painted pebbles, Caddo pottery and a Kiowa pouch.
The event will include artisans at work, shopping opportunities and several traditional Native American dances -- more than eight different styles.
"One of the crowd favorites is the Woman's Fancy Shawl dance," De Luna said. "The dancers are said to be mimicking a colorful butterfly as it floats over a grassy, wildflower-spotted meadow. It's very beautiful."
