The taco sale will raise funds for First Nations' annual powwow in April. For $5, visitors can have a taco and a beverage from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the ECM.
Felicia Mitchell, First Nations Student Association secretary, said the cost would benefit ECM and "fill your tummy."
First Nations Student Association's annual powwow is scheduled for April 5. Mitchell said more fundraisers might be scheduled as the powwow grew closer.

Sunken space capsule returns to Cosmoshere
HUTCHINSON — Liberty Bell 7, the Mercury space capsule that sunk in the Atlantic on July 21, 1961, has returned to the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center, where it was restored after its retrieval from the ocean in 1999.
For the following 12 weeks, Liberty Bell 7 will be held at the Cosmosphere for the popular 6,000-square-foot interactive exhibit. "The Lost Spacecraft: Liberty Bell 7 Recovered."
The exhibit opened Saturday, and after a national tour, the museum will be the permanent home of the space capsule piloted by Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom on the second manned flight in NASA's fledgling space program.
Liberty Bell 7 remained in the Atlantic until a recovery expedition funded by the Discovery Channel located the Mercury spacecraft and recovered it 38 years to the date after its launch and following ocean loss.
It was then taken to the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center and restored.
Visitors to "Lost Spacecraft" will be
invited to experience the challenge and excitement known to early astronauts and modern-day explorers by touching, moving, pushing, operating climbing, maneuvering and controlling the interactive elements of the exhibit.
Interactive experiences include flying a Mercury capsule simulate, riding a centrifuge and piloting a remotely operated vehicle.

Sept. 11 attacks suspect captured in Pakistan
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks on America, was captured Saturday in a raid in Pakistan involving U.S. agents, officials told The Associated Press.
The arrest could provide new clues in the search for Osama bin Laden. Mohammed, 37, is perhaps the most senior member of the al-Oaida terrorist network after bin Laden and Egyptian Ayman al-Zawahiri.
Mohammed was arrested along with two other men in the city Rawalpindi, which is near the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said.
The raid was the work of both U.S. and Pakistani agents, according to U.S. and Pakistani officials who requested anonymity for their information.
U. S. officials say Mohammed organized the Sept. 11, 2001, terror mission that sent hijacked passenger jets crashing into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania, killing more than 3,000 people.
But even before then, Mohammed was wanted in connection with plots in the Philippines to bomb trans-Pacific airliners and crash a plane into CIA headquarters. Those were broken up in 1995.
Mohammed narrowly escaped being captured in a raid about a week ago in the southwestern town of Quetta, a Pakistani government source said.
