This annual Indian Pow Wow has been a highlight of the Dallas calendar for more than 40 years. Several hundred Native Americans, representing dozens of tribes from across the United States, take part in the two-day Pow Wow. Colorful tribal dance contests, Indian arts and crafts, tepees, ceremonies, food booths and much more characterize this event that not only brings tribes together, but also provides an intriguing insight for visitors into Native American culture. Most popular are the dance contests in which dancers, clad in feathers, buckskin, bells and beads, compete for prizes in 18 different categories, in age groups ranging from toddlers to grannies. Admission to the event is free. For more information, call (972) 647 2331.
