Would like to attend a Powwow this year

[Violet Belle]

Hi. I just joined this site tonight after being referred to it by the owner of a Native American group I am a member of on Facebook. I told the group about an encounter I had as a small child that involved Native American's and one of the things the owner suggested is that I attend a Powwow this year if possible. I looked at the calendar, however I just moved to Kingman, AZ last month, so I am really not sure how close any of the scheduled Powwows are to me. Also, I am unable to drive due to having Epilepsy, and I really don't think my roommate would be willing to drive me very far to attend a Powwow. So I was wondering if there is anyone who is close to Kingman who will be attending any of the upcoming Powwows who would be interested in talking, and getting acquainted, and maybe I would be able to join you. I went to a Powwow when I was like 12 and I am almost 31 now. However, my memories about it are very blurry. I look forward to hearing from others on here. Thanks.

Welcome to Powwows. I am surprise that you have not read the newspapers on the events for powwows. You just have to keep an eye out for events in your newspapers. That is the only connection. Also you might be able to hear about the powwow on the radio. I am deaf so I don't need radio. But I do look out for my powwows here on the island and elsewhere by reading the newspapers. Now that you are here on Powwows.com, you might check on many different sites in Arizona. They should have quite a few or more powwows for the Spring, Summer and Fall. So I hope you have fun reading and posting the threads here. See you around here on the forum.

I am hoping to also attend the Kawani Social in Columbus, Ohio April 2nd and hoping to attending many more in my area! Which ones will you be attending?

I looked at the Powwow calendar on here. I didn't see any that looked like they were very close to where I live. That's why I was trying to find out if there are any members of the site who live close to me that will be attending any so maybe I could join them.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I will find a way to get to the one if Peach Springs. I know my roommate won't take me, but maybe by then I will have made some more friends and some of them will be willing to go.
