Tribes gather in intricate historic regalia to dance together to the beats of century-old songs. Western singer-songwriters will perform, storytellers will share tales passed down through generations, and a dazzling lineup of award-winning Native American entertainers will perform.
Take a photo with a live hawk or bald eagle, shake hands with performers in the Storyteller Plaza, and let the kids get their faces painted for free.
Wander inside of a museum-quality tipi and discover ways to support struggling Native communities. This festival offers a little magic for everyone to take away.
