Help with Pow Wow
Donations and volunteers are needed for Mendota’s 11th annual Welcome Home Traditional Wacipi.
The Pow Wow is scheduled for Sept. 10-12 at St. Peter’s Church grounds in Mendota. Donations are needed for the raffle. Water and soft drinks are needed, as well as volunteers.
The traditional Pow Wow is open to the public. It will include dancing ceremonies as well as a unity feast. The event organizers recommend bringing lawn chairs. If you are able to help, call 651-452-4141.
We need generators badly. If you have one we can borrow for the Wacipi or Pow Wow, please call or email us. If you want to donate one to the community, we can give you a tax deduction donation form. Pidamaya, The Mendota Tribal Council.

Hello to all our members and friends. We are looking for volunteers at the Pow Wow. If you are interested please call or email the office. We are looking for a Pow Wow coordinator to get people to help with the Pow Wow, also another person to help the coordinator in making calls, and help put people in time slots. We always need more people for the evening time slots. For every 4 hours you volunteer, you will get a voucher worth $10.00 in food.
Remember for every 4 hours you volunteer you will get one of Connie’s delicious indian tacos for FREE, or what ever you want. Don’t forget Sharon’s fry bread and maple butter. Yum Yum!
