He has served as the administrator for the Maryland Commission of Indian Affairs and as the master of ceremonies for pow-wows around the United States and Canada for more than 27 years.
During the program, Mr. Colston will discuss various topics, including American Indian communities indigenous to Maryland. He will also share traditional dress, dance, and music and explain how these things contribute to a holistic approach to the culture.
