The event will feature numerous dancer routines; students from the Red Cloud Indian School and CSC students will be setting up teepees; and the Red Cloud students will also be demonstrating traditional hand games.

Although there is no official meal, the first 30 CSC students to arrive at the event will be able to eat a meal, which is paid for by RLA.

Also in honor of Native American Month, there is an exhibit in the Sandoz Center, that features a historical array centered around Fort Robinson.

A window display depicting handmade quilts, jewelry, and the proclamation from the city council stating November as the official Native American month, is set up in the Student Center.
