 About a hundred people gathered at the Battle Point Community Center in Beena to showcase the connection between Leech Lake tribe traditions and Korean culture. Some came all the way from New York and saw dance performances, taekwondo portrayals and indulged in food from both cultures. The group then came together at the powwow as a sign of solidarity. Organizers hope attendees feel like a part of a family and see that they're not alone. We provide in some sense at least for a short amount of time a sense of unity and even a sense of escape where they could escape from things that are going on at home and just to simply simply be kids be be people. The Korean culture exchange is a three-day event that also included worship and youth building activities.
