2009 Pow Wows


This site is constantly being updated with new powwows, new information, and corrections! LAST UPDATED: NOVEMBER 2ND, 2009

Sorry for the lack of updates this year! I've been under the weather as I'm sure you can all relate (just say no to H1N1)! Thanks to all the people who have contacted me or posted information online about upcoming Kansas (and surrounding areas) Pow Wows! Keep the information coming to evschrum@ksu.edu PLEASE! Let us help you get the word out!

Next year's website is already in the works and will be even better with a cleaner, more consistent format to display more information about even more powwows in the area! Can't wait until next year's Pow Wow season!
