Native American Heritage Month isn't just about costumes and food.

It's also about educating the next generation.

That's the message behind Clark College's annual powwow, which was held Friday in Vancouver, Wash., and featured dancing, drumming, food, and a ceremony honoring veterans, the Daily News reports.

"It's a way for the community to come together and learn about our cultures," says the college's president.

"It's a way for us to share our cultures with the rest of the world."

This year's powwow was also the unveiling of a scholarship in honor of veterans.

"Educating for the Seventh Generation" refers to the responsibility the next generation has to maintain their customs and traditions.

"It is the way of caring and preserving for the Seventh Generation, which is a truly sustainable practice to consider the impacts of every decision for the next seven generations into the future," says the college's website.
