Powwow Details
Due to the current pandemic and high level of uncertainty, we are concerned for the safety and well-being of all our attendees, therefore, Mahkato Mdewakanton Association Powwow Committee has made the decision to CANCEL this year's 48th annual powwow.
Please stay tuned for updates regarding virtual events surrounding the annual powwow event. The committee will work hard to fulfill the mission of the organization: "To celebrate and honor our traditions and ancestors; to reconcile and build bridges between all nations through education, storytelling, and the sharing of Dakota Indian culture."
