We do community outreach and Native American heritage education programs in addition to hosting the Circle of Thunder drum each week in Flour Bluff and the Learning Circle each month in Port Aransas. Powwows are popular group activities, too. Listed below are some of our outings and educational programs. If photos are posted for the event, there will be a link within the event description that will take you to the photo page for that event. All photos are placed here for your enjoyment.
