NAVA Veterans Appreciation and Heritage Pow Wow
Join the local South Gate community to celebrate veterans and Native American culture while enjoying fry bread, arts and crafts, face painting, intertribal dancing, and Native American drumming and singing during the Veteran’s Day Weekend event. The pow wow also gave Native American veterans and their family members a chance to honor their heritage and meet with veteran service representatives.
The NAVA Veterans Appreciation and Heritage Pow Wow is important because veterans need to be recognized and shown appreciation. They need to know the benefits they can receive, where they can go to get them, what they can do to get help for all types of issues.
