The Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum Announces
18th Annual Intertribal Powwow
July 8 and 9, 2017
WARNER, NH: The Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum is pleased to once again host its 18th Annual Intertribal Powwow on Saturday, July 8 and Sunday, July 9, 2017. Powwows focus on the fundamental values common to Native Americans across North America: Honor, Respect, Tradition and Generosity.
Along with their families, thousands of singers, dancers, and vendors
follow the Powwow Trail all over the entire continent to share and
celebrate the culture.
Mt.
Kearsarge Indian Museum will feature two fun-filled days of music,
dancing, storytelling, special exhibits and much more. Visit the many
quality vendors selling Native American arts, crafts and supplies. You
will also enjoy the traditional and contemporary foods available to fill
every appetite.
Music
is an integral part of Native American culture and there are few better
opportunities to appreciate its beauty and complexity than at a
traditional powwow. The drum is often heralded as the “heartbeat of the
people” and MKIM is fortunate to host several of the best Northern and
Southern style drums in New England for our annual Powwow.
Complementing
the singing and drumming, you will find dancers representing different
tribes and dance styles from across North American filling the circle
with their energy and grace. From the brightly colored shawls and
feathers of fancy dancers, to the joyful sounds of bells and jingles, to
the regal elegance of the traditional dancers – this is an event you
will not want to miss.
