LOUDONVILLE, OH:  Experience the Great Mohican Pow-Wow July 8  - 10 at the Mohican Reservation Campgrounds

Pow-Wow time is the Native American people's way of meeting together, to join in dancing, singing, visiting, renewing old friendships and making new ones.

This is a time to renew thought of the old ways and to preserve a rich heritage.

There are several different stories of how the Pow-Wow was started. Some believe that the war dance societies of the Ponca and other Southern Plains tribes were the origin of the Pow-Wow. Another belief is that when the Native Americans were forced onto reservations the government also forced them to have dances for the public to come and see. Before each dance they were led through the town in a parade, which is the beginning of the Grand Entry.

 

The following is the schedule of events:

Pow Wow is held JULY 8-10 and September 16-18
