PowWows.com was born by a happy accident in 1996. Now 25 years later we are the leading community for Native American culture.
Back in 1996, I was in graduate school and decided to teach myself how to build web pages. I built pages about topics I was involved in – Pow Wow dancing and vintage Star Wars toy collecting (yes, I'm one of those Star Wars geeks). The Star Wars page is still out there as it existed in 1996. The Pow Wow immediately began to attract visitors. Quickly after building the first pages, I added a forum and our community began.
You, our Pow Wow Nation, have propelled PowWows.com into what it is now.
I want to celebrate those 25 years with you.
Over the next few months, I have some exciting plans for our celebration including an amazing contest, announcements, new features, and more.
Let's start with the biggest contest PowWows.com has ever had.
What would a great prize to celebrate 25 years?
How about 25 Pendleton blankets!

Tina
says:Went from 6000 entries to 1 this morning. Nothing in the official rules says I broke a rule. Just because you created a points system that was easily overcome by common sense to gain bonus codes, you deleted all but one entry. Maybe next time you should use an alpha numeric system for your bonus codes.
Paul G
says:I’m not sure what you are seeing. I still show you have 6,000 entries.
LINDA BASS
says:I AM SORRY YOU LOST TINA, AND WITH 12,000 ENTRIES I GAVE UP HOPE BUT I WON IT!

Sandra Furgeri
says:Hi Paul. I have done my daily entries for the giveaway and I should be over 600 entries. Today it says I only have 116? How can this be corrected?
Also, I love PowWows.com. It has a wonderful array of articles, videos, pod casts etc. keep up the good work! Blessings

says:Sorry you have having issues. Make sure you have used the same email each time. If not, send me an email.
Joyce Smith
says:Paul, I have a question. On the Podcast with D. Standing Cloud you mentioned that the Blanket Contest would be by random drawing. If that is right, what is the purpose of accumulating all the points? I thought the highest 25 in points would be the winners.
Dini D.
says:It’s like entering a raffle: The more tickets you get, the greater your chances of winning. A random draw, but your chances are better with more entries.
