I misunderstood what this was and ordered it, thinking it was a Pow Wow calendar to hang on the wall. Instead, it is a book. A book full of phone numbers, addresses, emails and websites for various Native American gatherings, throughout the U.S. and Canada. Something I have been looking for!!

I like to travel to Pow Wows, Indian Art Markets and other gatherings, but information is sometimes hard to find. That happens, in part, because it's too expensive to advertise in "every" publication. This book lists them by date and also has a reference in the back, by state. Most helpful for those looking for something to do in other states. I also liked the fact that in the front of the book, it explained certain Pow Wow terms. Things like Grand Entry; Host Drum; Head Dancers; Arena Director. There is also a section on Pow Wow etiquette, which is a must read for anyone who has never been to a Pow Wow. What I found most interesting was the description of how to identify various dancers -- Traditional; Straight; Jingle; Grass; Shawl. I am happy to have stumbled across this and glad the information covers all Native American Gatherings, not only Pow Wows.
