The local Native American community held the first Ann Arbor Pow Wow
in 1972, in an area just outside of town. This event has led to 26 annual
gatherings of Native American and First Nation peoples. Because of the
increased popularity of the Pow Wow, Crisler Arena is now the host site for
this event, which attracted about 10,000 people this past weekend. Honor,
respect and generosity are the values on which the Pow Wow is based.
Dedicated artists follow the Pow Wow all across the continent to celebrate
their rich heritage through dance and song.
