Powwow cancellation blamed on lack of support
Wednesday, March 9, 2005

Students and professors say lack of support and funding is to blame for the cancellation of the 16th annual University of Iowa Powwow.

Quanah Walker, 25, a graduate student and co-chairman of the American Indian Student Association, said there aren't enough Native students around to organize the event. The association is $8,500 in debt and needs more funds, said Walker, a member of the Meskwaki Tribe of Iowa.

Jacki Rand, an assistant professor of history and American Indian and Native studies and a member of the Choctaw Nation, said the real issue is the lack of Native student recruitment. As of fall 2004, 141 Natives were enrolled at UI out of 29,745 students.
