The United Tribes International Powwow takes place every year over four days in early September at United Tribes Technical College in Bismarck, North Dakota. The event typically draws 20,000 to see more than 1,500 drummers and dancers representing about 70 Native American tribes. Contests are held for all age groups in singing, dancing, and drumming. Other festival events include a parade, a softball tournament, arts and crafts, and a national Miss Indians pageant for contestants between the ages of 17 and 26. A non-alcohol event, the powwow is open to all. Discuss
