Fewer than 200 American Indians call central Pennsylvania home, but thousands have gathered in State College once a year for more than a decade to celebrate and embrace their various cultures, traditions and values.
“As Long As We Dance: The New Faces of an Ancient People Traditional American Indian Powwow” will debut at 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6, on WPSU-TV. The 30-minute documentary showcases the stories of American Indian dancers, drummers, vendors and organizers, many of whom traveled thousands of miles to participate in the powwow. November also marks Native American Heritage Month.
