Visitors to the Buffalo Bill Center of the West’s annual Plains Indian Museum Powwow each June are not only awed by the competitive dancing and exquisite dance regalia but also enjoy unique shopping opportunities at the booths of the more than 47 art vendors set up outside the dance arena. The authentic Native-made art, jewelry, beadwork, pottery, and much more, available for purchase add to the atmosphere of cultural celebration at the powwow.
Vendors offer Native art, jewelry, and more for sale at the annual Plains Indian Museum Powwow. The 37th Annual Powwow takes place Saturday and Sunday, June 16 and 17, at the Robbie Powwow Garden at the southeast corner of the Center of the West’s grounds. Space is still available for additional, qualified vendors who wish to apply to participate. Interested vendors who are enrolled members of North American Indian tribes and nations should contact Hunter Old Elk, Plains Indian Museum Curatorial Assistant, and Powwow Vendor Coordinator, at 307-578-4012 or [email protected] to reserve a space.
