Dear Teachers,
This year, the
Annual Gathering of Nations Pow Wow is scheduled for the fourth weekend of April.
The exact dates of the PowWow is April 26 & 27th, 2013.
The Gathering of Nations is the largest "Gathering" of Indian tribes in North America; they gather for the purpose of social and competitive singing and dancing. It is an event celebrating culture and traditional Native Pride.
Singers, dancers and crafters representing over 300 tribes come from throughout the United States and Canada to participate. They travel great distances and converge on Albuquerque, at the
University of New Mexico Arena "The Pit" for this most festive event.
The
Gathering
of Nations

We are encouraging you all to take advantage of this great educational experience, by scheduling a trip to the 2013 Gathering of Nations PowWow for you and your students.
