What are your favorite powwows within a day's drive of Oklahoma?
We haven't set up a booth before at Denver March, because there's always a blizzard somewhere between here and there. Gathering of Nations is just sooo crowded.
If we can schedule a trip to set up our booth at one big out-of-state powwow this summer, where's the best powwow? We've never traveled up north at all, except Denver March.
Does anyone know anything about a powwow in or around Nashville TN? I heard there was a good one there in the past, but we don't know about now.
We sat up a booth at Natchez MS powwow in March a couple of years ago, it was our first "non-Indian" powwow. We didn't know what to expect, there were some Indians but mostly boy scouts & hobbyists. Turned out to be great people and beautiful country. That 16 hour drive is a killer though.
Give us some ideas of someplace new to go, outside OK to go this summer!
