Neerchokikoo Powwow
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
NAYA’s Annual Neerchokikoo Powwow celebrates Native American history, culture, and cultural arts. Since 2010, the powwow has welcomed the community to gather to celebrate culture through dance, music, art and food. The Powwow also honors partners, volunteers and donors whose contributions to NAYA’s work have enhanced the lives of our youth, families and elders over the past year.
Traditional drumming and dance for individuals of all ages are performed throughout the day, and there are exhibitions from our tiny tots, youth, and multi-generational groups. Participants dance, drum and sing in their own styles, as Portland is home to a large and diverse Native population representing members from 380 tribes. In addition to the dance exhibitions, Native artisans and vendors supported by NAYA’s microenterprise services offer beautiful prints, jewelry and other items for sale. Delicious fry bread and Indian tacos are available for purchase.
