Throughout the year USCL sponsors public events at the Native American Studies Center highlighting the traditions of South Carolina’s Native peoples, but every year around March or April USC Lancaster hosts Native American Studies Week. Through the efforts of the NAS faculty and committee, USCL offers a series of events celebrating local Native American history, culture, art, music, and dance on campus and at the center.
Activities for the 15th annual event include an art and craft festival, film screening, an art exhibit opening, an interactive painting demonstration, storytelling, a lecture discussing Native American trickster figures, and more. Events are free and open to the public. For more information, call (803) 313-7172.
