Visitors are welcome to enjoy the whirl of colors, sights and sounds of our annual Wacipi. From the inspiring rhythms of the drum groups to Native American dancers in full regalia, we invite you to share in our culture. Becky Olvera Schultz is an artist and photographer whose background includes journalism, advertising and marketing.
She has been in involved with the powwow circuit for several years, participating as a vendor and as a member of powwow planning committees. There are exhibitions and contests throughout the three days, including dance categories, such as Men's Fancy, Jingle Dress, Fancy Shawl, and Golden Age, among others. Drum groups are invited to participate in our Wacipi as well.

Possession of an eagle feather is an honor; they are usually received as a gift from a relative, spiritual teacher, or from the eagle himself. Please, no photography during this ceremony. Giveaway: A Giveaway is a tradition when someone has been honored or a major accomplishment is reached. The Master of Ceremonies announces the purpose of the Giveaway, and then simple, everyday gifts are given to the honoree.
Blankets and special gifts like star quilts are given to individuals who have helped the family. Visitors are sometimes given small gifts as well. It is considered impolite to refuse a gift if given. A Giveaway is generally followed by a "Wopida" thank you song and dance, where everyone who has received a gift is invited to participate in a round dance.
