OGDEN — Native American dancing and singing will be the focus of a powwow on Saturday on the Weber State University campus in Ogden.

The university will be hosting the 44th Annual Indigenous Voices Pow Wow, featuring dancers in a range of categories and age groups. The afternoon session starts at noon on Saturday with the evening session beginning at 6 p.m. The powwow is free and will be held at Dee Events Center, 4444 Event Center Drive, on the Weber State campus.

"Powwows provide a sense of family, community, pride and tradition through dance and music. Dancers come from many tribal nations and states from across the country," reads the website for the Weber State event.

The Native American Student Association at Weber State, a student-run club, is the organizer. The aim of the event is "to create lasting relationships between the university, surrounding Native communities and members from Ogden city and beyond who partake in the festivities," the site says.
