Native Americans join with Denison Job Corps Center for community function

Denison Job Corps Center has hosted a variety of activities at its new recreation center, since its grand opening earlier this year. In October, another unusual activity was added to that list.

The rural Iowa center played host to visitors from the nearby Omaha Native American Tribe. The visitors presented an historical program for Denison Elementary School students.

The visiting tribe members explained their ancestry to the elementary students – and to Job Corps students – through costumed dance. Drummers and dancers presented several historical dances in the recreation building.
