It’s the first day of the 43rd annual Paumanauke Pow Wow Festival at Tanner Park in Copiague.

It’s an inter-tribal event where the public can enjoy dancing, music, art and vendors selling clothing and food.

Organizers say a portion of ticket sales and donations go toward scholarships for college students.

“It’s not large scholarships but it’s enough to help them out," said Gerri Goodlin, president of the Paumanauke Native American Festival.

The event goes all day Saturday and continues Sunday.
