If you don't like it and it is offensive to your children tough beans you are a minority there and it really isn't hurting anybody.
Now imagine that everyday to an atheist.

My children will attend and I don't have a problem with it. Like the graduation I don't think there will be any participation other than attendance. My boys know generally my opinion regarding the native religions. I just can't see it harming them to watch. They will probably come home with a story and maybe a few questions.
Now I've never let them go to the Pow Wow on the weekend. I also wouldn't let them pick an animal totem when they were encouraged to do so from school. Apparently I as their father was suppose to pick their Animal spirit.
The things that offend me I just withdrawl my children from. It is as simple as that.
