Description

The Meskwaki Annual Powwow is the only one of its kind in Iowa. It is a four-day event used to celebrate the end of summer. As the color and intrigue of it all has drawn the most attention from the outside world, the powwow features dancing, singing, handcrafts, food, games and fun. Although dance styles and content have evolved over the years, the Meskwaki still consider the event a time of reaffirmation and hope, of kinship and friendship and of celebration.
