The Kyi-Yo Show

By Adam Sings In The Timber

MISSOULA, Mont.--Members of the Kyi-Yo Native American Student Association hit the stage Dec. 3 to raise money for the University of Montana’s annual powwow.
The first Kyi-Yo Native American Arts Theatre featured dancing, flute-playing, poetry-reading, storytelling, drumming and singing.
The show was a way for the 40-year-old student club to raise money for the school powwow it organizes each April. But fund raising wasn’t the only reason for staging the performances.
“The purpose of tonight’s event was to promote our culture to the Missoula community and to the student body,” said Amanda Decker, Kyi-Yo vice president.
Linda Juneau, the university’s liaison with tribal colleges and the master of ceremony, said organizers hoped the show would become an annual event.
