POWELL, Wyo. - In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, the Native Ways student organization at Northwest College will host its annual Buffalo Feast at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 16, in the Dining Hall and Trapper Room of the DeWitt Student Center on campus.

Larry Medicine Bull, one of the chiefs on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation in Lame Deer, Mont., will provide this year’s entertainment.
