Tentative plans are in the works to hold it in 2020. Check back for further information. \nFor many\, the oral traditions passed down from the generations held in captivity at Bosque Redondo Reservation\, have stated not to go back to Fort Sumner or speak of the atrocities that occurred. However\, the current generations understand that the contemporary tragedy occurring is the loss of cultural history with their youth. Through this dance\, they are reclaiming that history. We invite you and your families to join us on this momentous occasion. \nAdditionally\, there will be respected speakers\, traditional foods\, and craft vendors from both the Mescalero Apache Tribe and the Navajo Nation present. Admission is free. Please join us and let the healing begin. \nBeginning at 8:00 p.m.\, Joe Tohonnie Jr. and the White Mountain Apache Crown Dancers will be performing their fire dance to close the ceremonies. \nPublic Welcome – Free Admission \nSchedule\n11:00 a.m. – 7:30 p.m. Gourd Dance\n8:00 p.m. Joe Tohonnie Jr. & White Mountain Apache Crown Dancers \nEvent Features\n* Raffles\n* Giveaways\n* Food Vendors\n* Arts & Crafts Vendors\n* Camping available \n \nHead Staff\nM.C.: Mike Burgess\, Comanche\, Lawton\, OK\nHead Gourd Dancer: Al Footracer\, Dine´\, Prescott\, AZ\nHead Lady Gourd Dancer: Marjorie Washee Begay\, Dine´/White Mountain Apache/Cheyenne\, Dallas\, TX\nHost Drum: Hale & Company\, Dine´ Nation\, Pico Rivera\, CA\nArena Director: Tyrone Benally\, Dine´/Zuni\, Breadsprings\, NM\nCo-Hosting Gourd Societies: Mescalero Apache Gourd Society\, Mescalero\, NM and Dine´ Land Gourd Society\, Gallup\, NM\nRaffle Coordinator: Merrick Tate\, Dine´\, Inscription House\, AZ\nGourd Dance Coordinators: Elle Curley-Jackson\, Dine´\, Coyote Canyon\, NM and JJ Ahboah\, Kiowa/Cheyenne\, Anadarko\, OK\nSpecial Guests: Joe Tohonnie Jr. and the White Mountain Apache Crown Dancers\, Whiteriver\, AZ \nLocation\nBosque Redondo Memorial\n3647 Billie the kid road\nFort Sumner\, NM 88119\n505.918.9617 \nFor More Information:\nFood Booths/Arts & Crafts: JJ Ahboah 505-918-9617 elle_jj1225@yahoo.com \nAbout Gourd Dancing\nGourd Dancing actually originated with the Kiowa Tribe. According to Kiowa Gourd Dance coordinator JJ Ahboah\, “in the time when humans could still communicate with animals\, a Kiowa man was separated from his tribe. Lost\, hungry\, and dehydrated\, he began to hear singing. Following the singing\, he came upon a Red Wolf standing upright. This Red Wolf shared songs and dances with the Kiowa man from sunrise to sunset. When the Kiowa man returned to his tribe\, he shared all of the songs and dances with them.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More”]\nThis dance began as a warriors dance as well as to promote well-being within the tribe. Now it has evolved into a social dance\, because so many other tribes have adopted it.” The Navajo and the Mescalero Apache adopted Gourd Dancing in the mid 20th Century. \nToday\, Gourd Dances can be held for many purposes such as: return of veterans\, birthdays\, or in the case of Fort Sumner Historic Site\, to promote healing and strengthening of intertribal relations.[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \nThe Bosque Redondo Memorial Gourd Dance is a drug and alcohol free event. Fort Sumner Historic Site / Bosque Redondo Memorial is not responsible for thefts or damage to vehicles. \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Bosque Redondo Memorial Gourd Dance on Mother’s Day weekend in May at the Fort Sumner Historic Site/Bosque Redondo Memorial in Fort Sumner\, New Mexico. \nTags: Bosque Redondo Memorial Gourd Dance\, New Mexico Powwow\, New Mexico Pow Wow \nView Other New Mexico Pow Wows

After the Florida territory was transferred to the U.S.\, the Navy established a small depot here in 1822 to rid the area of pirates. Fishing\, salvaging wrecked ships and cigar manufacturing became the driving economic forces behind the island’s growth making Key West the richest city in Florida in the 1890s. The U.S. Army began construction of Fort Taylor\, named for President Zachary Taylor\, in 1845. With secession and the beginning of war in 1861\, Fort Taylor remained under federal control — one of only three fortresses in Florida to do so — and served as the headquarters for the Federal Navy’s East Gulf Coast Blockading Squadron staying on ‘active duty’ status through 1947. Today\, the fort is a National Historic Landmark containing the largest cache of Civil War-era seacoast cannons in the U.S. \nCannon and Arches\nUnion troops took control of Fort Zachary Taylor early in the Civil War and maintained it through the duration of the war. They made use of the fort’s impressive artillery\, including 10-inch Rodman and Columbiad cannons to detain blockade-running ships seeking to supply the Confederacy. In 1968\, a large supply of Civil War-era guns and ammunition were discovered in the Fort’s buried arsenal. In fact\, Fort Zachary Taylor held the largest collection of Civil War-era cannons in the United States. \nFort Moat\nSoon after the park opened to the public\, a contractor began the process of digging a moat around the fortress. There were two reasons for the project. One was to prevent easy entry into the structure. The other was to give the illusion of the fort in its early days\, surrounded by water. The end result was an attractive division between the fort and the beach and sea beyond. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Taylor Living History Weekend on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month at Historic Fort Taylor in Key West\, Florida. \nTags: Fort Taylor Living History Weekend\, Fort Zachary Taylor Living History Weekend\, Ft Taylor Living History Weekend \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events

After the Florida territory was transferred to the U.S.\, the Navy established a small depot here in 1822 to rid the area of pirates. Fishing\, salvaging wrecked ships and cigar manufacturing became the driving economic forces behind the island’s growth making Key West the richest city in Florida in the 1890s. The U.S. Army began construction of Fort Taylor\, named for President Zachary Taylor\, in 1845. With secession and the beginning of war in 1861\, Fort Taylor remained under federal control — one of only three fortresses in Florida to do so — and served as the headquarters for the Federal Navy’s East Gulf Coast Blockading Squadron staying on ‘active duty’ status through 1947. Today\, the fort is a National Historic Landmark containing the largest cache of Civil War-era seacoast cannons in the U.S. \nCannon and Arches\nUnion troops took control of Fort Zachary Taylor early in the Civil War and maintained it through the duration of the war. They made use of the fort’s impressive artillery\, including 10-inch Rodman and Columbiad cannons to detain blockade-running ships seeking to supply the Confederacy. In 1968\, a large supply of Civil War-era guns and ammunition were discovered in the Fort’s buried arsenal. In fact\, Fort Zachary Taylor held the largest collection of Civil War-era cannons in the United States. \nFort Moat\nSoon after the park opened to the public\, a contractor began the process of digging a moat around the fortress. There were two reasons for the project. One was to prevent easy entry into the structure. The other was to give the illusion of the fort in its early days\, surrounded by water. The end result was an attractive division between the fort and the beach and sea beyond. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Taylor Living History Weekend on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month at Historic Fort Taylor in Key West\, Florida. \nTags: Fort Taylor Living History Weekend\, Fort Zachary Taylor Living History Weekend\, Ft Taylor Living History Weekend \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events

It marks the place where a small force of Americans were in the right place at the right time to have an outsized negative effect on British General John Burgoyne’s campaign to split the northern colonies. This battle contributed to his subsequent loss at Saratoga\, which was the event that helped Franklin convince France to join American in its battle against Britain. \nFrom the beginning of the American Revolution\, the British had understood the importance of gaining control of the Lake Champlain-Lake George-Hudson River water route to effectively cut off the colonies north of New York from those to the south. Almost all of the troubles leading to the war had originated from New England\, and the British thought that if they could put down the rebellion there\, the rest of the colonies would give up. British dominance of New York would also make it difficult or impossible for the Americans to move troops and supplies between the northern and southern colonies. \n[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=”Read More about the importance of the Battle of Bennington”]The British make their first attempt to seize this waterway in 1776. The British army\, under Gen. Sir William Howe\, was successful in taking New York City and some of the lower Hudson Valley area. The force moving south from Canada under Gen. Sir Guy Carleton was stalled at Ft. Ticonderoga however\, and forced to retreat due to the coming of winter. In 1777 Gen. John Burgoyne\, who had been with the British force coming from Canada in ’76\, proposed the plan be tried again\, submitting “Thoughts for Conducting the War on the Side of Canada\,” this time with himself in command. This paper was his attempt to strengthen the existing New York strategy and was soon approved by Lord Germain. \nThis plan became known to history as the Campaign of 1777. The plan called for Burgoyne to advance south from Canada\, up to Lake Champlain\, capture Ft. Ticonderoga\, and then march south along the Hudson to Albany. There he would join Sir William Howe\, who would advance north along the Hudson River from New York City\, already under British control. Barry St. Leger would come as a third force\, advancing west along the Mohawk River Valley. St. Leger’s Force was to act as a diversion\, recruiting loyalists along the way and additionally securing a western water route between Canada and New York City. Howe\, however\, became engaged in a campaign to capture Philadelphia (a plan Lord Germain had also approved believing that American General Washington may become a hindrance to New York\, and that Howe would be done in time to reach Burgoyne) and would never reach Albany. St. Leger became entangled in a futile 21-day siege of Fort Stanwix and was forced to retreat to Canada as American forces from the Albany area began to advance upon him. Burgoyne\, however\, was never informed in a timely manner of his colleagues’ setbacks and continued his march to Albany. \nIn July 1777\, Fort Ticonderoga was lost by the Americans after British General John Burgoyne managed to place a cannon on Mount Defiance (looking down on Fort Ticonderoga) and force Ticonderoga’s garrison under General Arthur St. Clair to evacuate. After capturing Ticonderoga with ease and speed that shook patriot morale\, Burgoyne continued his march south\, defeating American troops at Hubbardton and forcing the evacuation of Forts Anne and Edward. Then his luck began to run out. A column of Hessians (German mercenaries) was sent by Burgoyne to raid Bennington for much needed supplies (horses for unmounted cavalry)\, draft animals\, and food supply and forage). On August 16th\, 1777\, in a small hamlet of Hoosick\, NY called Walloomsac\, a rebel force of roughly 2000 men under the command of General John Stark\, decisively defeated Burgoyne’s detachment of Germans\, loyalists and native allies. This action diminished General Burgoyne’s army by 1000 men\, prevented the capture of important supplies located in nearby Bennington\, VT\, and set the stage for the American victory at Saratoga. \nContinuing southward\, Burgoyne crossed near present-day Stillwater\, where the Americans under Horatio Gates\, had taken up position on Bemis Heights. Burgoyne tried to break through the American lines at Freeman’s Farm (Sept. 19) and at Bemis Heights (Oct. 7). Both attempts failed\, and the British commander\, finding himself outnumbered and surrounded and unable to retreat\, surrendered on October 17\, 1777. \nBurgoyne’s defeat and surrender at Saratoga\, coupled with the victory months prior at Fort Stanwix\, lead directly to the alliances between the United States\, France\, and the Netherlands. These alliances helped to sustain the new United States throughout the rest of the war and directly contributed to the final victory and British surrender at Yorktown in 1781. \nBurgoyne’s Campaign: June-October 1777Turning Point: The Battle of BenningtonBattle of Bennington (from British Battles)[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion] \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Battle of Bennington Reenactment at the Bennington Battlefield in Wallomsac\, New York. \nTags: Battle of Bennington Reenactment\, Battle of Wallomsac Reenactment\, Bennington Battlefieldc \nView other Revolutionary War Reenactments & Other Events

The Crow Fair Celebration is the largest Native American event in Montana\, and one of the biggest powwows in the country. Held each year in Crow Agency\, Montana by The Apsáalooke people of the Crow Indian Reservation just South of Hardin\, Montana. Also known as the “Tipi Capital of the world”\, Crow Fair begins on the third Thursday in August and attracts more than 50\,000 spectators and participants from the around the world. \n\nCrow Fair Celebration Powwow & Rodeo\nCrow Fair Morning Parade\nBesides the pow-wow\, there are many other attractions. Each year the fair holds a parade\, which winds its way through the campsites. A large number of women on horseback using old-style saddles (many family heirlooms) of bone and rawhide\, ride in the parade. The parade begins each morning of the Fair at ten o’clock. The Color Guard leads the parade with retired veterans and active members of the armed services. Following the Color Guard are the President\, Vice-President\, and First Vice-President of the Crow Fair. The President carries the American Flag. In the past\, the royalty of the Crow Nation would follow the Presidents; however\, in modern parades the Crow Tribal Officials replace Crow royalty. \nThe parade includes contests for best traditional dress in more than half a dozen categories. Riders on horseback were followed by elaborately decorated cars\, trucks and trailers. Some of the vehicles are decorated in memorial to tribal elders who have passed during the prior year. Others carry multiple generations from elders to newborns. Princesses\, ranging in age from preschool to 18\, ride along the route\, on horseback or by vehicle\, wearing traditional\, elaborate dress with perfect\, modest poise. \nCrow Fair Celebration Powwow & Rodeo Mini-Gallery\n\n \nCrow Fair Pow Wow\nThe Crow Fair Pow Wow is much like pow wows throughout the west\, except for more emphasis on traditional dance styles. You can pick out [the Crow tribe’s style] from hundreds of dancers because the dress ways are the same as the turn of the last century. The only additions are material things to decorate their regalia. \nThe pow wow grand entry begins at 1 p.m. sharp. It is led by the veteran honor guard\, followed by all the dancers who will participate in the contests that have been held throughout the week. The announcer introduces competing drum groups that surround the arbor\, each taking a turn keeping the beat. \nIn addition to the Crow people\, members of other tribes come to dance and sing and sell their goods on the midway that surrounds the arbor. Dance contests\, with substantial prize money\, are held throughout the week with participants ranging in age from preschool to elders. \n \nCrow Fair Rodeo\nThe Crow Fair Rodeo is sponsored annually by the Crow Nation. The rodeo is a daily feature at the Crow Fair\, offering a full day’s entertainment of youth events\, professional Indian cowboys and cowgirls\, and horse racing. Rodeos occur throughout the United States\, through the various rodeo associations like the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. The Northern Plains Indian Rodeo Association\, organized under the Indian National Finals Rodeo\, is the current association that sanctions the rodeo event. \nThe Rodeo is held at the Edison Real Bird Memorial Complex\, in Crow Agency\, Montana. The rodeo arena\, race track\, stables\, and campgrounds are all part of this complex. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Crow Fair Celebration Powwow & Rodeo at Crow Agency in August. \n \nTags: Crow Fair Celebration Powwow\, Crow Fair Celebration Pow Wow\, Crow Fair Powwow\, Crow Fair Pow Wow\, Crow Fair Rodeo \nView Other Montana Powwows

Come see the reenactors in their Sunday best and join in the dancing. Our event band will play and call the different dances of the 1860s. All are welcome to join us for a free evening of entertainment. \nStoryteller Jim Two CrowsNational award winner\, Jim Two Crows Wallen\, is an oral historian who combines his love of history with a good story\, keeping you spellbound. For over 25 years\, the Missouri native has captured the imaginations of audiences spanning three continents. Two Crows invites you to be submerged in history through his exciting presentations on the Civil War. \nMusic of the Civil WarJust as it is today\, music was a vital element in the everyday lives of men and women of the Civil War. Music was sung and played at home\, in the camps by the soldiers\, performed by regimental bands on the march\, and was often played on the battlefield. The more than fifty thousand songs of this era came to express people’s goals\, aspirations\, fears\, and emotional and physical pain. Learn more about the music and the instruments. \nThe Battle ReenactmentYou will be able to witness the battle as the citizens of Washington D.C. did on the first major encounter of the Civil War. The North and South will be reenacting a battle from 1864 with scrimmages off and on during the morning culminating with the battle in the afternoon. \nFuneral PracticesThe war would have been an even greater horror than it was without one person–the undertaker. Learn about the role of the undertaker\, see a widow in full mourning and learn about funeral practices of the era. Presented by Pipestone’s own funeral director\, Randy Hartquist. \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Pipestone Civil War Days in August in Pipestone\, Minnesota. \nTags: Pipestone Civil War Days\, Pipestone Civil War Reenactment\, Civil War Days\, Minnesota Civil War Reenactment \nView other Civil War Reenactments\, Encampments & Other Events

The fort closes at 5:00 p.m. \nAdmission Fees:\n$6.00* per vehicle. Limit 2-8 people per vehicle.\n$2.00* Pedestrians\, bicyclists\, extra passengers\, passengers in vehicle with holder of Annual Individual Entrance Pass.\n$4.00* Single-occupant vehicle or motorcycle.\n* Plus $.50 per person Monroe County Surcharge. \nHistory of Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park\nSpanish explorers first surveyed the island of Key West in 1513. After the Florida territory was transferred to the U.S.\, the Navy established a small depot here in 1822 to rid the area of pirates. Fishing\, salvaging wrecked ships and cigar manufacturing became the driving economic forces behind the island’s growth making Key West the richest city in Florida in the 1890s. The U.S. Army began construction of Fort Taylor\, named for President Zachary Taylor\, in 1845. With secession and the beginning of war in 1861\, Fort Taylor remained under federal control — one of only three fortresses in Florida to do so — and served as the headquarters for the Federal Navy’s East Gulf Coast Blockading Squadron staying on ‘active duty’ status through 1947. Today\, the fort is a National Historic Landmark containing the largest cache of Civil War-era seacoast cannons in the U.S. \nCannon and Arches\nUnion troops took control of Fort Zachary Taylor early in the Civil War and maintained it through the duration of the war. They made use of the fort’s impressive artillery\, including 10-inch Rodman and Columbiad cannons to detain blockade-running ships seeking to supply the Confederacy. In 1968\, a large supply of Civil War-era guns and ammunition were discovered in the Fort’s buried arsenal. In fact\, Fort Zachary Taylor held the largest collection of Civil War-era cannons in the United States. \nFort Moat\nSoon after the park opened to the public\, a contractor began the process of digging a moat around the fortress. There were two reasons for the project. One was to prevent easy entry into the structure. The other was to give the illusion of the fort in its early days\, surrounded by water. The end result was an attractive division between the fort and the beach and sea beyond. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Taylor Living History Weekend on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month at Historic Fort Taylor in Key West\, Florida. \nTags: Fort Taylor Living History Weekend\, Fort Zachary Taylor Living History Weekend\, Ft Taylor Living History Weekend \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events

After the Florida territory was transferred to the U.S.\, the Navy established a small depot here in 1822 to rid the area of pirates. Fishing\, salvaging wrecked ships and cigar manufacturing became the driving economic forces behind the island’s growth making Key West the richest city in Florida in the 1890s. The U.S. Army began construction of Fort Taylor\, named for President Zachary Taylor\, in 1845. With secession and the beginning of war in 1861\, Fort Taylor remained under federal control — one of only three fortresses in Florida to do so — and served as the headquarters for the Federal Navy’s East Gulf Coast Blockading Squadron staying on ‘active duty’ status through 1947. Today\, the fort is a National Historic Landmark containing the largest cache of Civil War-era seacoast cannons in the U.S. \nCannon and Arches\nUnion troops took control of Fort Zachary Taylor early in the Civil War and maintained it through the duration of the war. They made use of the fort’s impressive artillery\, including 10-inch Rodman and Columbiad cannons to detain blockade-running ships seeking to supply the Confederacy. In 1968\, a large supply of Civil War-era guns and ammunition were discovered in the Fort’s buried arsenal. In fact\, Fort Zachary Taylor held the largest collection of Civil War-era cannons in the United States. \nFort Moat\nSoon after the park opened to the public\, a contractor began the process of digging a moat around the fortress. There were two reasons for the project. One was to prevent easy entry into the structure. The other was to give the illusion of the fort in its early days\, surrounded by water. The end result was an attractive division between the fort and the beach and sea beyond. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Taylor Living History Weekend on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month at Historic Fort Taylor in Key West\, Florida. \nTags: Fort Taylor Living History Weekend\, Fort Zachary Taylor Living History Weekend\, Ft Taylor Living History Weekend \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events

They made use of the fort’s impressive artillery\, including 10-inch Rodman and Columbiad cannons to detain blockade-running ships seeking to supply the Confederacy. In 1968\, a large supply of Civil War-era guns and ammunition were discovered in the Fort’s buried arsenal. In fact\, Fort Zachary Taylor held the largest collection of Civil War-era cannons in the United States. \nFort Moat\nSoon after the park opened to the public\, a contractor began the process of digging a moat around the fortress. There were two reasons for the project. One was to prevent easy entry into the structure. The other was to give the illusion of the fort in its early days\, surrounded by water. The end result was an attractive division between the fort and the beach and sea beyond. \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Fort Taylor Living History Weekend on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month at Historic Fort Taylor in Key West\, Florida. \nTags: Fort Taylor Living History Weekend\, Fort Zachary Taylor Living History Weekend\, Ft Taylor Living History Weekend \nView other Civil War Reenactments & Other Events
