This Saturday, May 4, an important event for all of Indian country will be held in Minneapolis. The American Indian Cancer Foundation's Powwow for Hope will feature "dancing for life, love and hope."

Powwow for Hope is an opportunity to make a difference in the American Indian community. Help is needed to address the cancer burdens faced by many American Indian families throughout Indian Country. All money raised on Saturday will be used to support cancer education and supportive services for American Indian communities.
