Listen to me. The only two states that I will recommend for authentic powwows are Oklahoma and South Dakota. I suggest that you try one powwow from from both of these states. Do not go to the east coast or mid-west for authentic powwows. If you want flash and dazzle Arizona is good for powwows because the Navajos have some of the best dancers but not necessarily the best singers as compared to South Dakota or Oklahoma. August is the best time for powwows in South Dakota. For Oklahoma powwows, I'd wait for a suggestion from a southern plains native American.
