The Mackinac Bands of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians are teaming up with the Presque Isle County Historical Museum to put on the first full-blown Powwow to ever be held in northeastern Michigan. The Powwow will feature several drum teams, singers, costumed dancers, storytellers and American Indian crafters. The Powwow is set for festival Saturday, August 8 from 1-4 p.m., but the museum's famous “buffalo burgers” will go on sale beginning at 11 a.m. The public is invited to bring a lawn chair for an interesting and educational afternoon of family-friendly entertainment celebrating the thousands of years of American Indian culture in this area. Admission is free. Thompson also said the spacious lawn of the Bradley House will be the site of an the Voyageur Rendezvous encampment by historical reenactors from around the state.
