Learn to Walk Pow Wow

The pow wow begins with the Grand Entry and the Flag Song followed by Veterans' Honor Song.  All Veterans - male/female, Native/non-Native are honored this way.  The Emcee will provide information on the dances including:  male and female traditional dances, jingle dress and grass dance, and male and female fancy dance.  Social dances, such as the inter-tribal, round dance and two-step, are also featured and the audience is invited to participate.  Artisan and vendor booths provide a variety of craft items, reference materials, and food.  A pow wow can truly be a cultural learning experience.

With any new experience, it may be helpful to know certain cultural protocols as you participate in or watch the events unfold before you. The Emcee will provide some information and we also put together a Pow wow Etiquette sheet to help.
