Indian students at Edmonds Community College in Washington will hold their 18th annual pow-wow this weekend.
The American Indian Student Association expects dancers from the United States and Canada for the three-day event, which begins Friday. Ten drum groups will compete for prizes.
Emcee Arlie Neskahi, who won a Grammy for a composition and performance he did on an album by the Paul Winter and the Earth Band, will give a pow-wow etiquette class as part of the festivities.
All this week, the school is hosting a series of educational events leading up to the pow-wow.
