National Championship Indian Pow Wow
This annual Indian Pow Wow has been a highlight of the Dallas
calendar for more than 40 years. Several hundred Native Americans,
representing dozens of tribes from across the United States, take
part in the two-day Pow Wow. Colourful tribal dance contests,
Indian arts and crafts, tepees, ceremonies, food booths and much
more characterise this event that not only brings tribes together,
but also provides an intriguing insight for visitors into Native
American culture. Most popular are the dance contests in which
dancers, clad in feathers, buckskin, bells and beads, compete for
prizes in 18 different categories, in age groups ranging from
toddlers to grannies. Admission to the event is free. For more
