JOYFUL — About 200 Native American Indians came from cities, towns and reservations around the Midwest and Canada to Ann Arbor Saturday to "make a joyful noise" and leave their troubles outside. Indian dancers and musicians gathered at Huron High School Saturday for the eighth annual all-Indian Powwow sponsored by the University of Michigan Native American Student Association. The powwow resumes today from 1 to 6 p.m. Several Midwestern tribes are represented at the meeting, according to Ben Bearskin Sr., organizer of the open powwow. The powwow is a happy celebration, a time to forget grudges, to overlook ailments and feel joy, Bearskin said. Above, Stone Horse Goeman, from Big Fork, Minn., performs a native dance Saturday. A children's dance was held Saturday, along with preliminaries of the adult dance competition. Finals of the adult contest were scheduled for Sunday afternoon. The dance competition begins at 2 p.m. today.
