What is a pow-wow?<\/h3>\n

“Pow Wow are Native American gatherings that include singing, dancing, food, crafts, and reconnecting with old friends.\u00a0 Pow Wows are a way for Native people to celebrate.<\/p>\n

Pow Wows are held for homecoming, birthday, annual gathering, anniversaries \u2013 or just because!<\/p>\n

There are several different stories of how the gathering was started. Some believe that the pow wow originated with the War dance Societies of the Ponca and other Southern Plains Tribes.” continue reading here<\/em> https:\/\/www.powwows.com\/what-is-a-pow-wow\/<\/a><\/p>\n
