Be sure to join the fun on Saturday for the Spectacular Iron Man Fancy Special and on Sunday for our Men and Women's Team Dance Special.Ī highlight of the Winter Gathering POW WOW is the Grand Entry, where all of the tribal dancers enter the Showroom in a procession. Prizes are awarded for the top performers in every category.
Guests will see dancers in the 'tiny tots' group (6 years and under), up to the 'golden age' group, which will feature both men and women age 65 and older. In previous years, more than 300 people of all ages competed. The Winter Gathering POW WOW brings tribes together to compete in various dances and drum contests. For those who haven't attended a POW WOW, this is an opportunity for people young and old to participate in a memorable cultural event steeped in Native American tradition and heritage. Native Americans from across the United States and Canada attend the gathering for a breathtaking display of traditional handmade dresses, dancing, songs, arts, crafts and food. Native American culture will come alive with Native American song and dance at the festive Winter Gathering POW WOW presented by the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians from Friday through Sunday, December 6-8, 2013, at the Spotlight 29 Casino Spotlight Showroom.
