More than 400 people attended the Red Cloud Indian School’s T.W.O. Pow Wow on November 9th. Teca Wacipi Okolakiciye (T.W.O.), which translates into 'Youth Dance Club,' is an organization created for the schools. While most Pow Wow's happen during the summer and include anyone from the community, these Pow Wows there are held specifically during the school year for students. This gives students a chance to practice, compete, and build community with students from other schools. To date there are 16 schools that are represented.

Pictures from this Pow Wow can be found HERE.
