2026 Explore Native Challenge Entry Form

What Is the Explore Native Challenge?

The Explore Native Challenge is a two-month giveaway and learning adventure. When you enter, you’ll get a daily email from me with something new to explore. One day it might be the true history of Thanksgiving. The next it might be the story behind the jingle dress, a fry bread recipe, a craft tutorial or a list of Native authors you should be reading.

Along the way, I hide bonus codes throughout PowWows.com. Each one you find and enter earns you extra chances to win. The more you explore, the more entries you get. It’s that simple.

The goal is to have fun, learn something new, and come away with a deeper respect for Native cultures and the people who carry them forward. Winning a beautiful blanket doesn’t hurt either!
