What is the Gathering of Nations Powwow?
The Gathering of Nations Powwow is an annual powwow held each year in Albequerque, New Mexico. American Indians from many different tribes come to share in the celebration of heritage and traditions. It is a way for them to connect with each other while keeping their culture alive through dance, song and storytelling. The Gathering of Nations Powwow also provides opportunities to educate non-natives about Native American culture and traditions. The Gathering of Nations is only one of many powwows held each year, the majority of which are held between Memorial Day and Labor Day throughout the USA and Canada. They are an important part of Native American life and a lot of fun for all who attend. For information about the Gathering of Nations Powwow and other powwow events, see our American Indian Powwow Calendar.
