The Second Annual Two Cultures One Community Powwow was a huge success! What started as an idea from Pat Beard and Fred Hill Sr., has grown into a meaningful tradition, bringing our community together. We give a heartfelt thank you to our fiduciary agent - Nixyaawii Community Financial Services, our generous sponsors, amazing volunteers, our professional Head Staff, vendors and everyone who had a hand in making this event happen!

Our dedicated powwow committee will continue to work hard, improve and find even better ways to bring people together. Like Dougie Hall says, "bring good medicine”.

The Two Cultures, One Community Powwow Committee has dedicated countless hours into making this event a success, and we’re committed to bringing good energy to create something special.

To keep things fair, seat-saving isn’t allowed when admission is charged, and blankets won’t be permitted—we want to ensure everyone has an opportunity to enjoy this beautiful event.

We’ve listened to feedback from last year and made improvements, and we will continue to build on this event.

Our Team is committed to keeping it fun and fair for all. We hope this is your vibe to share with our Tribe 🤩
