No other event captures Native spirit like the powwow. Dancers in colorful regalia move gracefully around around the ring, a steady drum beat, directing their movements. Tradition is passed from one generation to the next.
Powwows present a great opportunity for non-natives to learn about Native culture.
They can last anywhere from a few hours to several days. They frequently include craft displays and cultural exhibits. You can get a taste for traditional native food such as a moose burger or some caribou stew. Traditional powwows are conducted as close as possible to the way their ancestors would have applied theirs. The Grand Entry signifies that the powwow dancing and singing is about to begin.
