Yes it’s open to everyone. Wanting to learn our culture would mean learning 100s of different cultures from different tribe because we have our own beliefs and traditions. Powwows is like a social gathering for all people.

I am a powwow dancer and YES everyone is welcomed. Usually go Friday-Sunday. There are contest dances, social dances, gourd dance, specialty dances, intertribals, etc.. On intertribals, it is welcome for everyone to participate. Just be respectful, do not call our regalia a Costume or Decorations as every piece has a specific place and purpose. A lot is passed down the family and do not touch a dancer without asking permission. The arena announcer will tell you when you cannot film and what ia going on. Everyone is welcome, come and enjoy everything from the dancing to the food and different tribal customes, artists, etc.. The numbers are for contest and to be judged. The dance styles have a history and purpose. I even get my non-native friends out to dance/walk with me during intertribals.

As Tohono O’odham, our powwows or many others anyone is welcome. The regalia that a dancer wears are either bought or handmade, but everything bead, feather (eagle feathers aren’t meant for any person to touch, especially ones on the ground), & cloth hold meaning & blessings. As for the drums, it’s a way for beats to represent one’s heart beat & inner spirit. Powwows are contest ceremonies held for any tribe with jingle dancers, chicken dances, all ages, fancy dancers (men & women) & so on.

The dresses and the design are unique to the individual. Some people buy dress and some even make there own from scratch. Every piece of the clothing are made from piece from the land or clothing store lol, Many designs can be based on anything you like, you can be a crow, buffalo, road runner, bear, and so on. You can stand by the drums and feel the passion and the hearts that they being put thru songs. There are many different tribes but they all come together to dance and song, There are many ways to dance as well. Many tribe across America are losing there language to time. And there’s peyote sing where that stay up all thru out the night singing And water drum where they can sing for and prayer or a small child birthday or a lose love one The voice of the drum will lift you spirits and make you happy.

I think it was in 1991 I attended a huge pow wow in Southern California. May have been at the orange county fair grounds. I had never been and wanted to experience it. Took my 4yr old son. It was beautiful. Natives from all over the country were there. Tasted food I'd never heard of before like a 'Willy Boy' delicious and fry bread! Bought a beautiful tshirt that I wore of warriors past till it had so many holes and runs that I had to finally reluctantly throw it away😢. I loved watching the dances. Standing when others stood and loved the drums sounding so perfectly in unison. The beautiful regalia that the men women and children wore was stunning takes your breath away to see them dance. But the most spectacular scene was when an elderly women enteted the grounds to dance, her very long braided hair whirling around and she twirled holding a bright colored shawl as she danced so freely and the people respectfully laid money down for her. Its an experience I will never foget. I hope others like me who are not native can experience it too. ❤

There were plenty of on non Indigenous people there. I was by myself and didn't know what to expect. There' were certain protocols, according to the local nation, like when it is okay to take pictures, and not okay, or to stand when an elder is speaking, etc. Just being respectful. There's people who specifically help guide the pow wow. Lots of families and kids - it's awesome.

Pow wow are open to everyone. The pow wow itself is not traditional. It's a mix of a bunch of different tribal practices. Some of the elements of the pow wow are the result of "wild west shows" that basically put Native people on display for non-Native audiences in the late 1800s/early 1900s. At the same time, there are traditional things that happen at the pow wow. There are prayers, practices, ceremonies that take place throughout the event that not just for show. For a non-Native person, it can be difficult to know how they are supposed to be interacting with what is going on at the pow wow. Like we welcome spectators, but we aren't performers. There is a lot of reverence and ceremony happening, but the MC is also cracking jokes and we're having silly contests (switch dances, wannabe dances, etc.). There are deep rooted traditional practices, but then we are also contest dancing for prize money. We are telling people that their "Indian princess" ancestor isn't a thing because we don't have princesses, but then we have pow wow royalty and pageants. So it can be difficult to navigate what is going on if you are not familiar with Native cultures. Know that everyone is welcomed to come to attend pow wows, just be respectful and humble, and expect to see apparent contradictions...but know that they aren't contradictions to us. 😅
