About this Page

Hello, my name is Carly-Anne! This has been my fourth year at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, which means I'm a senior (yay), and will hopefully graduate in the spring (awe!). I have really enjoyed my time spent at UW-P. There are so many classes and professors that have changed my life, and it has provided me with friendships, as well as outlets for my creativity and ambition.

I am very excited to be doing this blog. Not only will I be able to share my experiences with you, the pseudo-reader, I will also be cataloging one of the last years of the "best years of my life!"

But ... I hate one sided conversations, they're so didactic, don't 'yah think? So, if you're an avid blogger, or just stumbled here by accident from your virtual path:
hit me up, and take the polls!

Sacred Circle's Annual Honoring the Children Pow-Wow

Wow! This Spring semester is already flying by! UW-Parkside's Native American and Indigenous People's Organization, Sacred Circle, put on their Annual Honoring the Children Pow-Wow a few weeks ago. Every year they have it in the Field House of the Sports and Activity Center (SAC), and this year was truly amazing!

I was able to volunteer with Zeta Sigma Chi Multicultural Sorority, Inc. As a smigin-Native American myself, it was an exciting experience to be able to share in my culture with my sisters. I was there on Saturday from 7am-11pm. It was a long day, but so worth the time! We were able to participate in prayer and other spiritual ritual, as well as join in a dance or two!

Zeta Sigma Chi also volunteered to make tobacco ties for the dancers and drummers of the Pow-Wow. This was an educational and cultural experience, and I was glad that we were able to participate in this. I can't wait for next year's Pow-Wow!
