Anne and Josh Thundercloud of the Ho-chunk Nation spoke on Native American pow-wows, which are social gatherings held across the country. A traditional pow-wow focuses on social dances and songs of the hosting tribe. The American flag is often displayed aside the tribe’s flag in honor of the esteem the Native Americans hold for military veterans. The public is always welcome.

The brother and sister team ended the program with music and a dance, which soon had a couple dozen Rotarians joining the rhythm in a circle at the front of the room.
