Native News Network Staff in Native Currents. Discussion »
DOWAGIAC, MI -The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi hosted the third annual Oshke-Kno-Kewéwen Powwow over Memorial Day weekend. The celebration honors Pokagon veterans and their Eagle Staff. It took place at the Pokagon Band powwow arena at its Rodgers Lake campus. Click below to play.
Oshke-Kno-Kewéwen refers to a new eagle staff in the Potawatomi language. An eagle staff is much like a flag and recently the Pokagon Band veterans began making a new one to represent the tribal community. The new staff has more than 90 eagle feathers with each representing a veteran in a tribal family.
The Oshke-Kno-Kewewen Powwow is considered a traditional powwow that is focused on brining the community together.
