Halloween has arrived a day early for children and the community with several activities planned for today.
During the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) annual conference held in Phoenix last week, some PBPN triibal leaders had their picture taken with Secretary of the Department of Interior Dirk Kempthorne and Nedra Darling who is the Director of Public Affairs and also a tribal member.
Some Tribal Council members and others are attending the 65th Annual National Congress of American Indians Convention and Tradeshow in Phoenix this week. The convention runs from October 19-24.
October is full of commemorative and celebratory weeks and some of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation departments are gearing up with their own activities and events to be held at the local level. Among them are Red Ribbon Week, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Domestic Violence Awareness Month that will be observed as part of a 10-Year Anniversary Celebration of the Potawatomi Tribal Police Department.
The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation held a pow-wow that included other activities in honor of American Indian Day at Prairie Peoples Park on September 27.
The flier outlines what candidates need to submit to the Potawatomi News if they want to be included in the voter's section that will be published December 17 in the Winter Quarterly edition of the News.
