March, prayer part of indigenous people day

October 10, 2005

Instead of observing Columbus Day, some American Indians on campus are honoring their ancestors through Indigenous People's Day today.

There will be a march from South Complex to the rock on Farm Lane at 5:45 p.m., followed by a prayer and drum performance.

More than 100 people showed up for the event last year, said Don Lyons, hospitality business senior and co-chairman of the North American Indigenous Student Organization.
