T206 · 12-28-2005, 04:18 AM

some of the powwows i know of that get the big drums from all over are
-schemitzun
-gathering of nations
-julyamsh
-iwasil
-denver march
-red earth
usually the prize money of a drum contest attracts some drums but also which powwows just had alot of good music?

if there is any other big powwows out there, maybe if you could post them that would be great.
does anybody know if hinkley MN is pretty big powwow?

Good ole Hinckley. That used to be one of the best powwows to be at. Ever since an incident back in 2001, just ain't been the same. Different people run it, differernt staff and committee now. I still think its good, who knows, maybe it will be like it used to be, where it seemed like everyone was there.

hinckley is still a good powwow, though nothing like it used to be. back in the day they had 3 singing categories, and errybody and their mama showed up. these days just one singing contest, but still top notch singing. out of all the powwows i've been to, and i been to almost all of the big ones, i'd say the tuffest comp was in post falls, idaho at julyamsh. this year there was, midnite express, youngbird, northern cree, mountain soul, blackfoot confederacy, blacklodge, wild rose, pipestone, dry lake, young kingbird and many more. in years past there was also blackstone, bear creek, battle river, big bear, high noon, southern cree and many more. the prize money is out of this world, like $15,000 for first. errybody is stacked up 12-15 deep. schemitzun is definitely top notch,(when they have an open singing contest that is) and morongo is definitely right up there as well. denver definitely has alot of drums, but not as many big names as the others, while ggathering varies from year to year.

is there any really big powwows in canada with big prize money for drums?........

CloudN9ne · 01-18-2006, 11:20 AM

heck yeah that powwow has seen the best come and the best go, in both dancing and singing!! my dad won the 1st year golden age there and my sis won it in 2003, this powwow has to be one of the best!!! 15,000 in first for drums and dancers its 2,000, but it will always have its ups and downs!!

**Mr Oakley** · 01-18-2006, 11:46 AM

I always thought Post Falls was probably the best powwow I been to. Drums were always good. I thought Prairie Island had some good singing too @ the summer powwow.
