The Powwow preserves the rich heritage of American Indians. It is a time to remember.
Indian people come together to dance, sing, meet old friends and make new ones.
It is a rich social occasion to reaffirm the joy of life, reconnect with Mother Earth and celebrate the living culture of the American Indian. Each dance has its own distinctive steps and regalia. Many other types of dances vary from region to region and from tribe to tribe. The regalia worn by many dancers are often treasured heirlooms passed down through generations. The warrior, wearing a painted face, tells a story in dance of stalking game or tracking an enemy wearing a single bustle of eagle feathers, a feathered roach headdress, beaded moccasins and ankle bells.
