Learn at the Tuscarora Educational Powwow

NEW BERN, NC, Join the New Bern Historical Society as they learn from the Cypress Society Singers and Dancers as they Present the Tuscarora Educational Powwow Sunday, Jan 26, 2025 at 2pm at Craven Community College’s Orringer Auditorium.

Cypress Society Singers and Dancers established by generations worth of knowledge kept by lifetimes of resiliency, represent the Kahtehnuaka Tuscarora peoples that reside here in these lands that are now called North Carolina. Primarily led by Kat Littleturtle (Kahtehnuaka) and Kaya Littleturtle (Kahtehnuaka) you will be told the old stories of the eastern woodland native nations and shown the old dances and songs led by various members of the group. The audience will go on a journey that began at the beginnings of creation and get a glimpse of the culture and traditions of the original inhabitants of turtle island.

Come join us on January 26th at 2pm at Orringer Auditorium to hear these untold stories and get a glimpse into the culture and traditions that defined this region before Baron DeGraffenreid and John Lawson arrived. Tickets are $12 for members, active duty military, and students; $15 for nonmembers. Reservations available online at www.NewBernHistorical.org or by calling 252-638-8558. A portion of the proceeds will go to supporting the Cypress Society Singers and Dancers.
