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.
