Join us at the MTSU Indigenous Peoples Powwow on February 24-26, 2017 at the Tennessee Livestork Center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The three-day intertribal contest powwow includes native dancing and singing, Lakota author Ron Colombe, drummers Prairie Thunder and The Bandits, flutists Ryan Molina and Jaime Chavez, craft vendors, oral tradition storytellers Dennis Claus and Grady Jones, and some of the top-ranked dancers ranging from the Cree of the Canadian Tundra to Aztec Dancers of South America and the Incans of the Ecuadorian Andes.

Events planned supporting the dance include a frybread cookoff, an indigenous forum on issues and successes, a blues performance at JazzMaTazz by renowned Seneca blues artist Butch Mudbone, an honoring of native and non-native veterans, and a welcoming of the Nishiyuu Warriors. Saturday includes lots of special activities for kids.

Special activities for kids on Saturday invite young ones to learn the Aztec dances and their cultural significance. The Indigenous Peoples’ Powwow will welcome kids to come experience knowledge they will not find in their school texts and elevate their understanding of this world we live in.
