For instance, I remember the time when my family and I went to Indiana for Carter’s Hoop Shoot Regional Final.

Hip-Hop dancing is a revolutionary style that has spread throughout America for over decades now. Going coast to coast and even over many oceans, especially the Pacific Ocean in the state of Hawaii. The stereotype that all people in Hawaii are “Hawaiians” or that the population lives in grass huts and doesn’t know what a mall is, plagues the minds of mainlanders.

A cultural event that I have attended in the past that has had a memorable affect on my life was a Native American Powwow. This event takes place every year, Thanksgiving weekend in Tucson, AZ.
