Pow-Wows 2024*
In Omaha, we have two Pow-Wows, starting in April at the Sapp Fieldhouse, and in September at the Metropolitan Community College North Campus at 30th and Fort Street. In past years, Creighton has also had a Pow-Wow in April, but not for 2017 onward that I can find. All powwows are bound to please the curious to repeat-visitor. In all of the Pow-Wows, expect to see dancers dressed in an array of bright colorful traditional regalia, arts and crafts, and ethnic Native American food. Uhmmm good.
Pow-wows are special events that not only involve celebration, but also pays respect to Native American heritage. Pow-wows have a code of ethics that you should make sure you adhere to. Photography, Videotaping, and sound recordings can only be done by permission. The arena area is a sacred area and it should be respected. Do not enter the arena, unless it is for a dance that anyone can dance in (usually referred to as an Intertribal Dance). Make sure you ask the event MC for any specifics. See the links at the side for more details.
Please note that we do not list all Pow-wows throughout the entire country, but we do intend to list ones in Nebraska, the six bordering states, plus North Dakota, and Oklahoma, due to their strong connection to Plains Nations.
