Annual Siletz Restoration Pow-wow

The Annual Siletz Restoration Pow-Wow is a vibrant celebration of Native American culture and heritage. Hosted by the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, this free event invites the public to immerse themselves in a day filled with traditional music, dance, art, and community spirit. From the moment of the grand entry, where participants adorned in intricate regalia representing diverse tribes ceremoniously enter the dance arena to the rhythmic beat of drums, attendees will be captivated by the rich tapestry of indigenous traditions on display.

Throughout the day, American Indian vendors will offer an array of jewelry, beadwork, and other handmade items for sale, providing attendees with the opportunity to support indigenous artisans and take home meaningful pieces of cultural heritage. This family-friendly gathering underscores the importance of community and respect, with a strict policy against drugs and alcohol to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for all. As families gather, share stories, and participate in dance competitions, the pow-wow serves not only as a celebration but also as a bridge between generations, preserving and honoring the legacy of Native American ancestors while fostering understanding and appreciation among people of all backgrounds.
