Sometimes called Wacipi (pronounced Wa chee p*e), the powwow is a traditional Native American cultural celebration where the generations gather to socialize, dance, sing, visit, renew old friendships and make new ones. Often held over a weekend, a Powwow is filled with songs and dances, singers with drums, and dancers in their regalia.
