West Allis - On Saturday, a one day Indian Pow-Wow event attracked hundreds of participants and drummers from throughout the state. One of those drummers pounding the sounds of traditional beats were a young group called the Ho Chunk, and is composed of young native Americans between the ages of 6 to 15.
A teenage drummer, Terrance Cleveland, who recently turned 14, has been participating since 8-years of age and is from Lyndon Station just eight miles from Wisconsin Dells.
At least nine drummers are members of the Ho Chunk, but a few were in West Allis and the rest were participating at other Pow-Wow events. The event began at 3:30 p.m. and ends at 9:00 p.m. at the Dairy Pavillion at the Wisconsin State Fair grounds.
