Event features American Indian guests, activities and history

DANVILLE – Nearly every weekend across the United States, people of Native American heritage as well as those who have come to love its ceremony and history come together for powwows.

The National Powwow is held every third year and this is Danville's third opportunity to host the event, which runs Wednesday through Saturday at the Vermilion County Fairgrounds, off U.S. 150 west of Danville.
