1000 people attend the Pow Wow for an interactive experience, along with 60 drummers, and 300 dancers. 60% of attendees can say the event helped them feel connected to their culture. Audience participant count and audience/participant survey.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our emcees ensured that the dancers in regalia were able to showcase their dancing styles in exhibition dances. There were plenty of opportunities for audience participation when intertribal dances invited ALL to join including those not in regalia and non-native attendees.
