So, we got this email from a Native brother and we are interested to help them.

As-salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullah.

My cousin is a board member of the Black Hills Pow-Wow committe which holds an annual pow-wow in Rapid City in October. They honor the native american youth by having a youth day during this weekend event. I am providing you the website for you to look at. I am eager to make something happen for the native american youth in this area. The Pow-wow is the largest gathering for native peoples here in South Dakota and is held during Columbus Day weekend to observe Native American Day.

South Dakota is the only state in the union that recognizes Native American Day rather than Columbus Day in honor of past efforts to estabish reconciliation between the Lakota tribes and the State so the pow-wow is held during this weekend and is attended by many people from from across the state as well as across the nation (indians and non-indians). Please take the time to check out the events held during the pow-wow weekend and let me know what you think about this insha Allah.
