A Minnesota school on Monday said it will not reschedule a pow-wow even though a civil rights lawsuit has been dropped.

Five Native women sued the University of St. Thomas, alleging gender discrimination. They said their drum group, the Sweetgrass Road Drum Group, was barred from the event.

The school said fear of other lawsuits means the pow-wow is canceled indefinitely.
