Partners with the American Indian Center and Goodwill NCW by Sponsoring the
4th Annual Fox Cities Flag Day Pow-Wow

Jack Barrett, General Manager of the Mohican North Star Casino, presents a check in support of this year’s Flag Day Pow-Wow to Lisa Hurst (left), Director of Education, and Becky Edler, Program Director of the American Indian Center of the Fox Valley.

The Mohican North Star Casino became the lead sponsor of the 4th Annual Fox Cities Flag Day Pow-Wow earlier this month with the commitment of $10,000 cash and in-kind services. Becky Edler and Lisa Hurst of the American Indian Center of the Fox Valley received a check for $8,000 from the Casino’s general manager Jack Barrett. The remainder of the support will be in the form of marketing, printing, and promotional services.

The Pow-Wow, to be held Saturday, June 10 from 4-10 p.m. at Roosevelt Middle School in Appleton, will once again feature drum, dance and veterans groups from across northern Wisconsin. It is intended to help American Indians demonstrate, celebrate and preserve their traditions, for both their own tribes and for the general public.

“We are pleased to lend the Casino’s financial support to this celebration and in appreciation for the work of the American Indian Center of the Fox Valley’s service to off-reservation Natives in the area,” said Barrett. The Center, located at 128 N. Oneida St, Appleton, within the Fox Cities Rotary Multicultural Center, has a two-fold mission. It is a gathering place for Native Americans – offering information, referral, education, advocacy and cultural enrichment activities – and an educational resource for the community about Native American history, culture and values. The American Indian Center is a program of Goodwill Industries of North Central Wisconsin.
