What are Native American Powwows?
Native American powwows are events that celebrate the heritage and traditions of Native American people. They are a way for Native Americans to connect with each other and keep their culture alive through music, dance and storytelling. Most powwows are open to the public, and provide opportunities to educate non-natives about Native American culture and traditions. They usually occur during the summer months from Memorial Day to Labor Day in the United States and Canada. Native American powwows are important to Native American life and are a lot of fun for all who attend. To see a list of powwows, see our Native American Powwows Calendar.
