## Caption

The sounds of drums and song echoed through the walls of the University of Iowa’s Field House on a sunny April morning for the school’s 29th annual Powwow. Dancers representing multiple tribes — adorned in multicolored headdresses, feathered fans, and beaded clothing — stomped their feet to songs, including the flag song, victory song, and a sneak-up dance.

The theme: "Here: Yesterday, Today, & Tomorrow."

As the United States marks 250 years, the Meskwaki Settlement in Iowa endures as testimony to the tribe's determination to maintain its sovereignty.
