Happy Thursday,

Are you interested in learning about Native American cultures and their artistic histories? Head to Arlington this Saturday for the Native American Student Association at UTA’s 30th annual benefit powwow. 

The organization’s biggest event of the year is filled with traditional tribal music, dances and games. Be on the lookout for my colleague Bianca Rodriguez-Mora’s story on the festivities early next week. 

Also, happy Easter weekend! If you’re looking for creative ways to celebrate the holiday, I rounded up some happenings across Tarrant County. There’s even a Bad Bunny-themed event on the list if you want to leave the kids at home.
