Concordia College will hold its first Native Student Awareness Week from March 21 through 25, 1988. Hosted by the Native Student Club, the week's activities are planned to celebrate and inform the campus and visitors about the Native students seeking higher education.

The theme for the week is Smoke Signals to Satellites and daily themes focus on the past and present to the future of Native people in Canada.

Activities will include guest speakers, displays of crafts, art, fashions, and historical artefacts. There will be traditional and modern folk dancers and music.

On Wednesday, the college cafeteria will serve traditional Native foods for lunch. A tipi will also be erected on campus.

On Thursday afternoon, from 1:15 to 3 p.m., a public meeting will be held to discuss the topic of "Native self-government." The public is invited to attend all events.
