No bustles, no big feather displays — just fringe, ribbons, and a porcupine-hair roach in constant motion. The Grass Dance began as a warrior-society dance and grew into one of the most recognizable styles in northern powwow. Some trace its movements to the custom of stomping down prairie grass before a dance, and many credit the Omaha with originating it. 📷 PowWows.com 👇

There is nothing like a powwow.

The music, the artistry, the celebration of culture, the multi-generational families coming together to learn and to continue a beautiful tradition.

It's important to understand that powwows aren't a look back at history. They're history in motion that is being made and remade every time a dancer enters the circle.

Every dance carries a story. Every song holds a memory. Every regalia design is a signature of Nation, of family, of self.

If you're interested in learning more about powwows, we encourage you to check out .com ! They have a calendar where you can find powwows near you and offer amazing email newsletters with a wealth of resources to help you understand why this tradition matters.

A message from our founder Larry Yazzie about his experience at the 110th Meskwaki Powwow this past weekend!

"Every dancer has a beginning.

Mine started at the Meskwaki Powwow when I was just six years old.

I couldn't have imagined then that one day I'd be dancing around the world, teaching Native culture to thousands of students, or returning home as one of the emcees for this year's 110th Annual Powwow. This weekend was truly meaningful for me.

Powwows are more than celebrations.
They're reunions.
They're classrooms.
They're places where traditions live on.

Coming home each year reminds me why we do this work.

Thank you to everyone who joined us this weekend."
