Although there are many students involved with the Powwow Project have loving parents or relatives, the students who have thrived or flourished the most have typically been kids without parents. When I first started the Powwow Project, it wasn’t my intention to work with students without parents or from group homes, but these were the students who were most drawn to the project and who sign up for every class. I learned that staying connected to your community can be hard when you don’t have parents or relatives to teach you.
