We enjoyed The Annual Austin Powwow and American Indian Heritage Festival this weekend. It is the nation's largest annual school event and the largest American Indian gathering in Texas. We were all amazed by the dancing, singing and drumming. It was a very powerful event.
WHAT IS A POWWOW?
Powwows are considered both a sacred and social event for traditional Indian families. It is a time to renew one's bond with the beliefs and traditions of one's ancestors. Dancers who are from many different Tribes/Nations compete and enjoy the company of family and friends.
This is a gathering of traditional American Indian dancing, singing, arts, crafts, foods and traditional/contemporary entertainment.
