The 78th Shinnecock Indian Nation powwow is planned for this weekend. The annual celebration of Indigenous cultural traditions brings together Native groups from many regions and offers educational opportunities for the community at large.
There will be dancing, drumming, and sunset fire-lighting ceremonies, and Native American arts, crafts, and food will be available for purchase.
The hours are Friday from 3 to 10 p.m., Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Monday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tickets cost $20 per adult and $10 for senior citizens, children ages 5 to 12, and military personnel. Children under 5 (with adults) may attend for free.
Parking is also free. Alcohol and drugs, drones, and pets (except for service dogs with documentation) are not permitted on the powwow grounds. More information can be found online at shinnecock-nsn.gov/annual-powwow.
