As you can image, organizing a pow wow takes a lot of time, dedication and hard work. So, we are reassigning responsibilities to make the work more fairly divided so we can give continued outstanding service and a wonderful event to our vendors, demonstrators and the public.
Thank you for your continued support.

What is a Pow Wow?
Pow Wow is a time to celebrate life, strengthen the ties among the People and invite visitors to share in American Indian culture by joining together to dance, sing and listen to stories, old songs and see dances that bridge the gap from ancestors to elders, to young ones.
Grand Entry begins the Pow Wow. The American Flag enters first carried by a Native American Veteran followed by an Eagle Staff when available. Veterans of all Wars are invited to participate in Grand Entry and they follow the flag. Next, the dancers who enter according to the dance category.
Respecting The Drum - The Drum encompasses not only the Drum itself but also the singers in the group. The Drum plays a significant part of Pow Wow. The Drum symbolizes the heartbeat, in others, the powerful medicine of thunder. The Drum must always be treated with respect. It is a sacred thing. The beat of the Drum is like a heartbeat, starting slowly and then beating more quickly.
Pow Wow Etiquette
There are several guidelines that you should know as a courtesy to the Pow Wow participants:
- PLEASE STAND QUIETLY for the Flag Song, Veterans' Song and other honoring songs to show respect to all veterans. The MC will direct you when to stand.
- ALWAYS REMOVE YOUR HATS OR HEADGEAR.
- NEVER pick up a piece of a dancer's outfit. Point out the item to the dancer and they will retrieve it.
- PHOTOGRAPHY is permitted. Listen to the MC for details. If you would like to photograph individuals, ask them for permission first and respect their decision.
- THE FIRST SEATS around the dance circle are for the dancers only.
- DO NOT WALK ACROSS THE DANCE CIRCLE.
