Everyone is welcome at the 16th Annual NCGLNAC Gathering of Great Lakes Nations Pow Wow on June 8-9, 2019 at the Tri-State Gas Engine Association Grounds in Portland, Indiana. The NCGLNAC Gathering of Great Lakes Nation Pow Wow is a time of celebration of Great Lakes Native Americans (Miami, Potawatomi, Ojibwe, and Ho-Chunk to name just a few). It is an introduction to, and at the same time, reinforcement to their culture that has trended from the past and is still in effect today.

The NCGLNAC Gathering of Great Lakes Nations Pow Wow is a celebration of Great Lakes Native Culture with Native drums and singers, dancers, vendors, food and storytelling. It will be a time for all to come back together, if just for the weekend. Seating is limited, so bring folding chairs and blankets to sit on.

Activities for both days will include: Native American Drums, Singers and Dancers, Native American Foods and Vendors, Free Children’s Activities, Pre-1840 Re-Enactment Camp, Artisan Demonstrations, Hand Drum Contest, and Storytelling.

On hand will be Native American drummers, singers, and of course dancers. Dance sessions will run Saturday 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. and 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., with Sunday’s schedule is noon until 4:00 p.m.
