Denver March Powwow 2017 or Bust !!!!

Its powwow time and starting off this season is one of the biggest powwows in the Indian Country – Denver March Powwow 2017!

The Denver March Powwow is run by the Denver Indian Center, “it started off as a youth enrichment powwow and has continued as that”, says Ken LaDeaux of the DMPW committee.  “The Denver March Powwow has also been featured as a premier exhibit at the NMAI (National Museum of American Indian) in Washington D.C.”.

The DMPW is held annually at the Denver Coliseum, which is the near the I-25 and I-70 interchange, as we came off the ramp and it made my heart feel good seeing their powwow sign!

We got a chance to visit their venue on Thursday during the vendor check in.  On Friday afternoon, this arena is going to be packed with singers, dancers & visitors from all over the Indian Country!

They also gave away sage and requested that it be given to friends & family for good feelings.  So to all of our www.powwows.com readers, this is from me to you.
