Rate This Event

All are welcome to the 41st Annual Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Pow Wow on June 8-9, 2019 at the Salem County Fair Grounds in Woodstown, New Jersey. The Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Pow Wow celebrates the culture and socializing of American Indians. It is a “living event” and not a “reenactment.” Public Pow Wows invite non-American Indian people to learn and enjoy the celebration, while also respecting the culture.

Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Pow Wow
The Powwow committee reserves the right to require tribal identification cards from competition dancers. No one is permitted to compete without registering.
Tribal Powwows are not an outlet for the non-American Indian spectators to “play Indian.” Spectators should NOT be dressed in regalia. This is not a costume party. It is a celebration that respects the ancestors and the ways of American Indian People. Tape recording of the drums should be done only after asking the drum group. Video recording should be only for personal use, unless by previous arrangement with the staff.
Admission is $15 per car load, OR $5 per person. Registering dancers are advised to pay the Per Person rate, and to notify the cash collector that you are a dancer. You will receive a voucher that you will take to the registration table that will ‘pay’ for your registration.

About the Old Bedford Village Civil War Reenactment
Each June, picturesque Old Bedford Village plays host to the clash of the Blue and the Gray during their annual Old Bedford Village Civil War Reenactment and Living History event.
Old Bedford Village Civil War Reenactment Mini Gallery

While America’s deadliest war never actually reached the town of Bedford, as General Robert E Lee’ Confederate Army invaded Pennslyvania in the summer of 1863, the threat facing this area was very real. Just north of Bedford near the town of Loysburg, a network of defensive trenches dug to protext Loysburg Gap survives to this day. The trenches were occupied in June of 1863 as residents of the area feared the invasion could target the farms and livestock of Morrison’s Cove and the railroad in Altoona to support Confederate troop in the field.
Each year, the Old Bedford Village Civil War Reenactment features hundreds of reenactors from state across the region. These living historians have a true passion for the Civil War time period they portray, and have spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours researching what and where to obtain the equipment and knowledge needed to portray the life of the common soldier serving in that war.
During the Old Bedford Village Civil War Reenactment, visitors can visit the camp sites of soldiers serving in both the Union and Confederate armies. They can witness what camp life was like, learn how the soldiers passed the time when they weren’t marching or fighting, and speak with the reenactors (and don’t worry, they do like to talk about this favorite topic). Civilian life is also represented as many women and children also attend the event in period attire. Each afternoon a battle reenactment will unfold, and visitors will have the opportunity to see first-hand the sights, sounds, and smells of battle. No history book or television documentary can give a viewer as realistic an experience as attending a Civil War reenactment in person.
What makes the Old Bedford Village Civil War Reenactment even more special is the Village itself. Because of the many original 17th and 18th century structures on site, Old Bedford Village truly presents the image of a town that ha been overrun by two great armies, with residents forced from their homes as soldiers move in, camp in their yards, and procure their food and livestock. Visitors can tour the building. Some will be occupied by the reenactors while others will feature Old Bedford Village’s skilled tradesmen and artisans who can explain their craft such as blacksmithing, spinning and weaving, tin smithing, candle making and more.
About Old Bedford Village
Cross the Claycomb covered bridge and step back in time to the 18th century at Old Bedford Village. Stroll through the Village of over 36 period workshops and log cabins for a real immersion experience. Call in on our period clothed crafts men and women, learn about Bedford’s historic past…allow time for a light snack in the Village Tavern, perhaps a horse and buggy ride around the Village?

2019 Red Earth Festival and Powwow

Rate This Event

Don’t miss the 32nd Annual Red Earth Festival and Powwow on June 7-9, 2019 at the Cox Convention Center Arena in downtown Oklahoma City Oklahoma. The award-winning festival draws more than 1,000 American Indian dancers, singers and artists from dozens of North America tribes who celebrate the richness and diversity of their heritage with the world. For three exciting days, Oklahoma City will be at the center of Native American art and culture as more than 30,000 people gather to celebrate. National Geographic and Good Morning America have covered Red Earth, and it has been named by USA Today as one of 10 Great Places to Celebrate American Indian Culture.

Red Earth Festival and Powwow
Since its beginning in 1987, the Red Earth Festival and Powwow has matured into one of the most respected visual and performing arts events of its type – setting the standard for many of today’s Indian art shows held throughout the nation. At Red Earth, guests can sample the work of some of the nation’s most celebrated artists, with opportunities to purchase contemporary and traditional examples of beadwork, basketry, jewelry, pottery, sculpture, paintings, graphics and cultural attire during the juried art show and market.
The dance competition at Red Earth is one of the rare occasions when dancers from America’s Northern and Southern tribes can be seen together in one venue. Red Earth dancers represent the elite of Native American dance, some of the most gifted and accomplished in the world. The masters, each in their own distinctive tribal dress, exhibit their originality and skills in one of the most prestigious of all native dance competitions.

Red Earth Festival Parade
On Friday morning amid 50-story skyscrapers the Grand Parade will kick off the weekend with an explosion of tribal culture featuring dancers, floats, Indian princesses, a football field-sized flag, honor guards, Indian firefighters, horse-drawn stagecoaches and brilliant regalia. The streets of downtown Oklahoma City will vibrate in Native American tribal spirit as tribal representatives, in full regalia, make the Red Earth Parade one of America’s most unique processions.

About Fort Henry
Fort Henry was the first American trading post erected in the Columbia River basin, and consisted of a log cabin built on the north fork of Snake River in the fall of 1810 by Andrew Henry for the Missouri Fur Company as a place to carry on trade with the Indians. From this location the stream is sometimes called Henry’s Fork of the Snake River. The fort was isolated and the trappers were unable to obtain supplies. To add to their woes, the winter proved quite severe, causing the party to abandon this post in 1811. It was situated on the southeast side of the town of Egin, Idaho, about 2.6 miles from the Fort Henry Rendezvous site.

About “The Fort”
Tesoro Cultural Center is located at The National Historic landmark called “The Fort” just south of Morrison, Colorado. It is the first authentic replica of Bent’s Old Fort, originally located near La Junta Colorado. Bent’s Old Fort was a strategic, private international trading fort located on the Arkansas River, which in the 1830s was the border between US Territory and Old Mexico. Bent’s Old Fort operated from 1833 until 1849 and was an edifice that was strategically important in the opening of the American Southwest under then President Polk. Using Bent’s Old Fort as a model to showcase the many cultures that lived, traded and passed through Bent’s Old Fort, including many Indian tribes, the Spanish, French, American trappers and traders, Freedmen and slaves, provides a wonderful opportunity to teach cultural history, tolerance, economics, and understanding the many different perspectives on historical events.

2019 Fort De Chartres Summer Rendezvous

Rate This Event

Join us at the 49th Annual Fort De Chartres Summer Rendezvous on June 1-2, 2019 at Fort De Chartres in Prairie du Rocher, Illinois. The first weekend in June, Fort de Chartres State Historic Site hosts the largest rendezvous in Illinois or the Midwest with over a thousand participants, hundreds of encampments, and thousands of visitors joining in on the festivities. Based on the traditional French fur trapper’s rendezvous where trappers and traders would meet at a predetermined location to trade furs for necessities, these rendezvous were the highlight of the fur trapper’s year and now the Fort De Chartres Summer Rendezvous is the highlight of Fort de Chartres’s extensive calendar of historical events and activities.

Fort De Chartres Summer Rendezvous
The Annual Fort De Chartres Summer Rendezvous offers participants and visitors alike a glimpse into the period from 1740-1840, a part of Illinois’ past when it was governed not only by France but by Great Britain and the United States as well. Costumed reenactors portray a variety of personas including colonial military units, mountain men, Native Americans, settlers, merchants, and more. Historical demonstrations are located at various locations on the grounds and there are periodic demonstrations that include period music, military drills, and musket and cannon competitions.
@ Fort de Chartres State Historic Site, at 1350 IL Route 155, 4 miles west of Prairie du Rocher. The event is open and free to general public with special event parking for this event just $5 a car. Donations welcomed. For more information contact the site at (618) 284-7230 or email lesamisdufortdechartres@gmail.com.
The two-day popular Annual Fort De Chartres Summer Rendezvous features shooting competitions, military drills, dancing, music, food, and traders of eighteenth-century-style goods. The boom of cannons, the smell of campfires and a parade of colorful uniforms will transport visitors back to the 1700s. The Rendezvous features 18th century military units, traditional craft demonstrations, period music and dancing, black powder shooting events and cannon firings – all from the time when France controlled what is now Illinois. Visitors can try their hand at throwing a tomahawk, buy hand-made crafts, learn about French kitchen gardens, and watch swordsmen duel, taste delicious food and much more.
Fort De Chartres Summer Rendezvous Mini-Gallery

As Fort de Chartres is an Illinois Historic Preservation Agency site, there is a wide variety of interpretive activities that can be found throughout the grounds. These activities run continuously throughout both days. In the Native Crafts area, visitors can learn first hand the arts of bow and arrow making, hide tanning, basket weaving, the use of native foods and herbs, pottery, the construction of wigwams, and the history of how and why the fur trade became such an important frontier industry. There are also archery demonstrations and competitions.
The Colonial Area features demonstrations that include spinning, dyeing, the use of looms, woodworking, weaving, quilting, rope making, coopering, and blacksmiths. Located in the Fort buildings themselves are a French Patron (River Boatman,) a French Marines quarters, a Jesuit missionary in the Fort’s Chapel, and the Piethman Museum. A French Colonial garden, oxen, and baked goods for sale from a working stone oven can be found near the demonstration areas. Throughout the grounds are demonstrations by independent merchants illustrating their skills, and displaying and selling their creations.
Fort de Chartres began as a French military outpost. The reconstructed stone fort represents the third fort built by the French, the first two wooden forts having been destroyed by the Mississippi River. It was this stone fort that the French turned over to the British in 1765 after the end of the French and Indian War. The British abandoned this fort, moving their territorial headquarters to the nearby town of Kaskaskia. The abandoned stone fort was visited by George Rogers Clark during his expedition during the Revolutionary War. Representing this military tradition are a number of military reenactment units and marching bands representing all three colonial powers. Rifle, musket, and artillery competitions are all part of the scheduled programs.
Period music can be found at any time during Fort De Chartres Summer Rendezvous. A center stage is set up within the fort and features various musical groups throughout the day. Many of these groups can be found entertaining visitors throughout the grounds when they are not featured on the main stage. In addition marching military bands with drums, flutes, bagpipes, and other instruments can be seen patrolling the grounds.
Hundreds of tents, teepees, and other primitive shelters become the weekend home for the over one thousand reenactors who come to the Fort De Chartres June Rendezvous from across the country. Visitors can gain a lot of insight into the life styles of the fur trapping era by exploring the Primitive Camp. The reenactors are a friendly bunch and are happy to talk about the specifics of their camp and the personas they portray. Sutlers, merchants, and trade blankets are located throughout the grounds selling many period related goods that are only available at this type of event.

Etiquette at the Otis Black Bear Memorial Pow Wow
Native American Pow Wows are social events. They should be fun – see beautiful regalia and breathtaking performances, as well as reunite with old friends and meet new ones – but, keep in mind that Pow Wows are also cultural events infused with tradition. Appropriate dress and behavior is required in the Dance arena. Anyone unwilling to abide by this rule will be asked to leave by the Arena Director or Emcee. (If you are going to dance, please wear dance clothes.)
If at any time you are uncertain of procedure or etiquette, please check with the MC, Arena Director, or head singer. They will be glad to help you with your questions. If taking pictures, asked the dancer first. Remember common courtesy and ask permission. Group photographs are usually alright to take, but you might want to ask first anyhow.

Relive the year 1861, when the First Land Battle of the Civil War was fought.

Blue and Gray Reunion – Battle of Philippi Reenactment
Friday is Walking History Day. More than 20 stations will introduce visitors to life in a Civil War camp, history of Philippi’s First Land Battle of the Civil War, camp cooking and games, soldiers’ and women’s clothing during the war, a visit with General Stonewall Jackson in the Barbour County Courthouse, Civil War era music, and more.
Blue and Gray Reunion – Battle of Philippi Reenactment of the First Land Battle of the Civil War will take place at 2:00 pm on Philippi’s Main Street. Following the battle, a reenactment of the historic Hanger amputation will take place in Sutler Row on Main Street.
About the actual Battle of Philippi
The Battle of Philippi formed part of the Western Virginia Campaign of the American Civil War, and was fought in and around Philippi, Virginia (now West Virginia) on June 3, 1861. On May 28, 1861, Col. George Porterfield and his Confederate troops arrived in Philippi, where they camped or were quartered in town. Neighbors and families were already divided on the question of secession. There were at least 750, if not upwards of 2,000 troops. At daylight on June 3, two columns of Union forces, with perhaps 3,000 men, arrived from Grafton under the command of Col. Ebenezer Dumont and Col. Benjamin Kelley. A Union victory, it was the first organized land action of the war, though generally viewed as a skirmish rather than a battle.
Mistaking a pistol shot by a Mrs. Humpreys on the hill above the town as a signal to start the battle, the Union troops fired on the Confederates with two brass six-pound Napoleon cannons. The Confederates routed to a big rock south of town and departed in good order to Belington and ultimately to Beverly.
The Original Blue and Gray Renuion
On June 3, 1911 the first “Home Coming Week” ever held in Barbour County of the “Blue and Gray Soldiers” who participated in the 1861 battle was held. The program included speeches, band concerts, “public talks by Old Soldiers”, entertainment, fireworks, parachute jumps, parades, a hot-air balloon ascension, and a “Sham Battle conducted by the State Militia.” In 1988, the City of Philippi published a “Call to Arms” to plan for an annual Blue & Gray Reunion to begin the first week of June, 1989.
Blue and Gray Reunion – Battle of Philippi Reenactment Mini-Gallery

Today’s reunion includes Sutlers and crafts tents, a parade, encampments for re-enactors from both sides of the war, artillery and small arms demonstrations, a choir concert, Civil War Ball, and of course, a re-enactment of the first land battle of the Civil War.

The purpose of the Annual First Nations @UW Spring Powwow is to preserve the customs and traditions of the University of Washington Native American community and to promote cultural education and diversity on campus.

On Saturday, the First Nations @UW Spring Powwow grand entries will be at 1:00 PM and 7:00 PM. On Sunday, the grand entry will be at 1:00 PM. Vendors and concessions will be there both days!
