Sidney Honoring our Veterans Powwow

Apache, Cherokee, Shawnee, Woodland and various other tribes will be traveling from across the U.S. to dance, sing, play music, socialize and camp for the weekend.

On both days, the grand entrance will commence with a representative entering the roped-off circle carrying the Eagle Staff, followed by the American flag, POW/MIA flag, and any veterans’ flags — in that order. Once the flags are brought in, veterans and first responders will be invited into the circle to be honored and personally thanked by all attendees present. After the honoring ceremony, anyone interested will be invited into the circle to dance and celebrate with the dancers.

People are welcome to stay as long as they want after closing time as long as they abide by the rules. The Sidney Honoring our Veterans Powwow Committee suggests bringing a lawn chair.

About the Sidney Honoring our Veterans Powwow
It was the Native American artifact collection of the late Vietnam Veteran Martin “Tallhorse” Chambers” that originally began as an exhibit loaned to the Shelby County Historical Society during Sidney’s former Apple Festival. This eventually transformed into the annual Sidney Honoring our Veterans Powwow of an expected 350 participating Native Americans this year. Unfortunately, the veteran that started this event never got to see it become such a success as he died before the first one.

Mark your calendar today so you won’t miss the Annual Sidney Honoring our Veterans Powwow in Sidney, Ohio.
