Powwows are a time to celebrate the beginning of new life and are held throughout the year. The celebrations often have religious significance, but are also a time for people to gather, sing, dance, feast, pray, renew old friendships and make new ones. These celebrations are still an important part of life for many Native American.
The Grand Entry opens the parade of dancers and is a time for contestants to score points by displaying their style and regalia. Dancers always enter the arbor and dance sun-wise, or clockwise, around an eagle staff. Styles and beliefs vary from tribe to tribe and area to area. Visitors can experience the Long Soldier Powwow and learn more about the dances, food and arts and crafts within the region.
