SAN MARCOS H San Marcos’ sacred springs will reawaken with more than 100 Native American powwow dancers and participants at Sacred Springs Powwow and Indian Market Saturday, May 1, from 10 am to 7 pm at Aquarena Center. The event is sponsored by local Native American nonprofit organization, Indigenous Cultures Institute, with support from Hays County, the City of San Marcos, San Marcos Arts Commission, Texas State University, CenturyLink, “Austin Monthly” magazine, and Pendleton Outlet. “The Sacred Springs area is one of the oldest inhabited sites in North America and Native people believe it’s one of three creation sites where we originated,” says Dr. Mario Garza, board chair of the institute. “Over the next several years, this event will bring together hundreds of Native people not only from the United States, but from all of the Americas.” Activities begin at 10 am with a blessing at the Sacred Springs. The powwow will feature Keetoowah Cherokee champion dancer David Hoskins as Head Man Dancer, Comanche renowned traditional singer Lance Tahchawwickah as Head Southern singer, and Texas-fame Eagle Point as the Northern Drum. A major Indian Market will be held in conjunction with the powwow, offering the largest gathering of Native American arts, crafts, and food vendors ever assembled in San Marcos. Food booths offer ever popular Native fry bread tacos, healthy buffalo burgers, roasted corn, turkey legs, chicken shish kabobs, and a variety of sweets like kettle corn, funnel cake, and snow cones. Arts and crafts will include a large selection ranging from Southwest jewelry, pottery, moccasins, Native dolls, stone oil lamps, breast plates and other relic replicas, to fine art paintings, weavings, and sculptures. FYI • Sacred Springs Powwow and Indian Market is May 1 from 10 am to 7 pm at Aquarena Center, 921 Aquarena Springs Drive in San Marcos.
