 Once
a year the American Indian Council of Mariposa County (AICMC) - aka the Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation - organizes
a traditional Native American celebration. To most people this celebration
is known as a Pow Wow but, to us it is known as Chi-Tock-Non Kote-U-Pu
- a drug-free, alcohol-free, smoke-free Spring Celebration.
The next event, May 11 -
12, 2013, marks our 20th annual Pow Wow and is important not only as a
celebration of our Native American culture, song and dance but, more importantly,
helps to fund the Nellie Tucker Scholarship. At present, the Southern
Sierra Miwuk are not Federally recognized and, therefore, do not qualify
for the larger Scholarships and Grants that are available to recognized
tribes. The Nellie Tucker scholarship, administered through the AICMC,
provides funds for local Native students who are trying to further their
education.
