mini powwow gourd session

This sounds like a mini-fair with only a gourd dance session.

yep, the bigger powwows are in Chinle and Towoac, CO. the same weekend.

[xTekno]

I imagine most people will be heading to Towoac.

[Tiyospaye Yazzie]

Ahhhh man

Can't make this one this year, bummer. Oh well but I reallly want to attend the one Towoac, lets just hope that they don't get washed out this year and that Chinle doesn't get dusted out. By the way does anyone know of any powwows in southern AZ. I ask because I am schoolin' in Tucson @ UA and I want to squeeze in some powwow time somewhere.

By the way

I imagine most people will be heading to Towoac.

There are plenty in Southern AZ ... starting with one around New Years time frame. Then you have one at Sells, San Xavier, Casa Grande (not sure about that one), Sacaton, and some local H.S. powwows. The UA Wildcat is on the rebound and it is usually late March. There may be others that are social events or events throughout the year.

However, you are going to be close to Phoenix and So. California as well!
