Pi-Ume-Sha Treaty Days Pow-wow

The Pi-Ume-Sha Treaty Days Pow Wow & Parade takes place in Warm Springs and at the Pi-Ume-Sha Grounds located behind the Warm Springs Community Center. This annual event holds profound significance for the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Indian Reservation, serving as a poignant commemoration of the signing of the Treaty of 1855. As descendants of the Warm Springs, Wasco, and Paiute tribes gather, they embrace their rich cultural heritage through traditional dances, drumming performances, storytelling sessions, and vibrant displays of arts and crafts. The pow-wow and parade provide a platform for both tribal members and visitors to immerse themselves in the traditions and customs passed down through generations, fostering a sense of community and unity among all participants.

Against the backdrop of the picturesque Warm Springs landscape, the Pi-Ume-Sha Treaty Days Pow Wow & Parade captivate attendees with its colorful procession, featuring elaborate floats adorned with symbols of tribal pride and history. As the parade winds its way through the heart of Warm Springs, spectators are treated to a visual feast of traditional attire, intricate beadwork, and striking regalia worn by participants of all ages. Alongside the parade, the Pi-Ume-Sha Grounds come alive with the rhythmic beat of drums and the graceful movements of dancers, creating an immersive experience that honors the resilience and cultural legacy of the Confederated Tribes. Through this celebration, the committee strives to not only preserve the legacy of the Treaty of 1855 but also to celebrate the enduring spirit and identity of the Warm Springs, Wasco, and Paiute peoples for generations to come.
