A super showcase for Native Americans

From the Arizona Republic: "It's common for Super Bowl host regions to put their cultural identity on display for a worldwide audience. It will be no different next year when Arizona provides the backdrop for Super Bowl XLII. With Native Americans playing an integral role in the history and cultural identity of the Grand Canyon State, local groups are planning to put on a festival showcasing the foods, arts and other traditions of Arizona's 22 tribes and nations.

"The 2008 Arizona Indian Festival, presented by the Arizona American Indian Tourism Association, is set for Jan. 18 through 20 at Phoenix's Steele Indian School Park.

"The three-day affair will be part of the 'Super Celebration Series,' a group of public events sanctioned by the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee. About 50,000 people are expected to attend."
