The contemporary Pow Wow is a link to the past that helps maintain Native American Heritage. Seen by outsiders as entertainment due to the singing, dancing, and colorful regalia, the Pow Wow is a spiritual legacy which should be treated with respect and honor. It is a time for Native American families to be together. It is a time of sharing, of laughter and tears, of learning, and of caring. It is a time to honor the past and celebrate the future.
Native American families travel hundreds of miles to attend Pow Wows across the U.S. and Canada. Time and distance are not relevant. The renewal of traditions and reinforcement of the heritage is the important thing. It is a time to strengthen the circle.
