We’ve stumbled upon this event luckily which happened to
be in Albuquerque, NM at the same time of our visit. It is the largest Powwow
of Native Americans held in North America each year. The costumes in the
ceremonies and the contests are drop dead gloriously stunning. The dances are
moving. And the contests are fascinating, grouped by age and gender. It's
really something to see the little ones all dressed up in their gorgeous attire
dance their hearts out. Participants come from tribes, pueblos, reservations
and First
Nations (all walks of life, for that matter) from as far away as
northern Quebec to Central America. Oh my, what a profound experience, wonderful fun, and great photo opts galore.
We’ll just let these pictures speak for themselves… Enjoy!
