The “Moving Forward Together” Traditional Powwow is coming to Fallon, from June 3rd through the 5th. Churchill Community Coalition, Native Voters Alliance of Nevada, and local Native American community members are the hosts. The powwow is being held at the Rafter 3C Arena on the Churchill County Fairgrounds at 325 Sheckler Road. Admission is free and open to all.
This will be the first large powwow held in Fallon for over a decade. It is a celebration of Indigenous wellness, with a focus on healing, artistry, creativity, and culture. The event intends to gather people together to find purpose, joy, and heal from the loss and grief of the COVID-19 pandemic.
There will be dancing, food vendors, arts & crafts, and singing & drumming. Specials will include honoring those who have passed, including a Duck & Dive Competition in honor of Monty Williams and a Memorial Hand Drum Competition in honor of Keith Andren.
A Traditional Feed will be provided Saturday evening.
The “Moving Forward Together” Traditional Powwow will have many performances, educational opportunities, and resources for everyone to enjoy.
