The Paradise Pow Wow, first held in 1996, is a traditional inter-tribal non-competition Pow Wow. Held on the grounds of the Gold Nugget Museum, in Paradise California, our Pow Wow is fun and exciting for the whole community, as we strive to keep Native American Traditions alive. This is a free event, open to the public. All Drums and Dancers are welcome

The Paradise Pow Wow committee works hard to educate the community on Native culture and tradition through Drum, Song and Dance. The Pow Wow consists of Native American vendors, food booths, and activities. During this two day gathering Native American artifacts and various handmade items and collections are on special display at the museum and open to the public to view and enjoy.

About Photographer Paula Schultz

Photo-Artist Paula Schultz, noted for capturing imagery of the beautiful scenic areas of Northern California and Southern Oregon, has had her exceptional award-winning images published in many national and international magazines, calendars and websites.

Her photos have recently been the 1st place winner in Cowboys and Indians Magazine, graced the cover of Outdoor California, published in Indian Country Today (NY), Pow Wows.com, and in addition, she was the featured photographer in Southern Oregon magazine (Readers Choice 2014).

Eddie Webb, owner of Red Pony Film Productions of Tempe, AZ said of her photography “Your photography is of Exceptional and Professional quality, and you have a Photographer’s eye”.

Paula’s exciting images of dancers’ movements frozen in time, not necessarily of the dancers in total, but specific sights: mocassined feet, swirling fringed shawls, elaborately colored bead and appliqued work, and brightly colored feathers, are of special interest.

The importance of respected eagle feather headdress dancers, the Grandfather Eagle staff, and the revered Golden Age Dancers are uniquely, but yet delicately captured through her camera’s lens and interpreted as seen through her eyes.

Wishing to share her appreciation of the Native American arts, Paula recently made a donation of over 40 Native American themed full-color images, many of dancers, which are on permanent exhibit at Oroville’s Ipakanni Early College Charter School.

Paula’s Photo-Art images displayed at the school depicts both dancers of all ages in colorful dance clothing coupled with spectacular scenes of the local area. “Each photo is carefully designed to inspire the imagination of the viewer, so they can interpret the images on their own level” says Schultz.

Paula enjoys capturing images at special occasions, festivals and community events. Because of her dedication to her art and her demonstrated sensitivity to the Native communities, Paula has been asked to be the Staff Photographer for both the Oroville and Paradise Pow Wow Committees.

Her beautiful and creative photographic images will soon be available as note cards and postcards.
