 Bemidji State University is celebrating Native American Heritage Month with a series of activities that celebrate the culture and contributions of the Native American community. From a Moccasin making class to lectures and dinners, events have been held weekly at BSU since the start of the month. Last night, the American Indian Resource Center served a dinner of wild rice, fish, venison and potatoes. The AIRC also hosted a beating class where participants learn how to make peyote stitch. Our Naganoemi Nanane program, which is a nursing program, we have to have cultural aspects in our grants for students. So primarily the beating class and then we had a Moccasin making class and then we'll have jingle dress making class. All those things are part of our culture. So we want to show our students who aren't familiar with the Native American culture, our culture. The beating class will continue through December.
