The 2014 show features a world-champion hoop dancer, flute player of the year, tomahawk throwing, fire starting demonstrations, drum making demonstrations and powerful storytelling. Throughout the festivities, there are plenty of music and dance performances, contests and customary food and artisans. There’s also more than $9,000 in prize money.
And that’s just for starters!
Pow-Wows are celebrations that last for days and are remembered for a lifetime. It is the coming together of Native tribes to honor ancestors and renew their traditions and heritage. It is a real cultural presentation – not a hobbyist show. It emphasizes lifestyles, fellowship and competition among tribes. It showcases custom dancing, colorful ceremonial dress, the passing down of songs, sharing of foods and storytelling. All of which are critical to the survival of a culture. One of the most spectacular sights at an authentic Pow-Wow is the palate of color woven throughout the festivities.
In addition to the Native foods, stories, music, dancing and drum competitions, there are original Native American creations by more than 40 traders, artisans and crafters. Wares on display and for sales include pottery, bead working, knife making, sliversmithing, quill working, antler works, fur trading, wood and bone carving, leather work, basket weaving, clothes making and jewelry.
