Native made can be of North, Central or South America. Each
vendor is carefully chosen to avoid excessive duplication of
products offered, this ultimately aids each vendor to
realize maximum profit from the event. We understand vendors
to a great degree depend on sales at events for their sole
income or at least a major part of it, we endeavor maximize
each vendors potential. We had over 2,500 attendees at last

and their families. Our dance arbor was full to capacity

A.I.C.U. Powwow
Butte High School, 401 S. Wyoming, Butte, Montana 59701
A traditional plains style powwow, drug and alcohol free
family event. This powwow is taking place during weekend of
the National Folk Festival In Butte, Montana. The only other
time the National Folk Festival was on the western side of
the United States was back in the late sixties in Colorado.
We have had to fund our own event as the National Folk
Festival could not find funding available to represent the
Native American culture and tradition and history, so we
have stepped up to the plate to share our legacy. We hope
that people will join us in welcoming the visitors from near
and far.
