Join us at the 9th Annual Indian Market and Powwow where award winning Native American artists will show their wares and demonstrate their crafts. This juried show is overseen by the Council of Indigenous Arts and respected experts in the field who will judge art submitted by premier Native American artists in the country. Artists will share their arts and crafts with visitors throughout the day in impromptu and planned demonstrations. A contest Powwow will fill the valley below The Fort on Saturday and Sunday. Dancers and drummers will share their heritage in competitions of Traditional, Fancy Shawl, Men's Fancy, Men's Grass and Women's Jingle categories. Visitors will have the opportunity to learn about the traditional dances and regalia while watching the brilliant display of cultures and colors.
