Gates Hours: 9:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Grand Entries: 9:30 a.m. both days.
Competition will end at approximately 5 p.m. on Saturday. The Adult final round will begin at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

First-time adult champion Charles Denny, Chippewa/Cree/Ute, 18, from Fort Duchesne, Utah, is expected to defend his title against such seasoned competitors and crowd favorites as Derrick Davis, Hopi/Choctaw; Nakotah La Rance, Hopi/Tewa, from Flagstaff, Arizona; Alex Wells, Lil Wat First Nation, of Morley, Alberta; and Lisa Odjig, Odawa/Ojibwe, from Wikemiking, Ontario. Denny will also most likely be facing off against 2008’s second-place finisher Brian Hammill, Ho Chunk, of New River, Arizona, over whom Denny captured the 2008 title by just one point. The winners will take home their share of more than $30,000 in prize money. (Final competitor list will be available on Saturday, February 7 at the event.)

Competitors perform in five divisions including Tiny Tot (under 5 years), Youth (5 to 12), Teen (13 to 17), Adult (18 and older) and Senior (40 years and older). Visitors can enjoy dance performances as well as delicious fry bread and other American Indian foods. Held on the museum grounds, admission to the museum is included.

For many years, the intertribal hoop dance has expanded to incorporate new and creative designs and extremely intricate footwork. Each dancer presents a unique variation of the intertribal hoop dance, weaving in aspects of his or her distinct tradition and culture. Individual routines are presented using as few as four to as many as 50 hoops, which are manipulated to create a variety of designs including animals, butterflies and globes. Dancers are judged based on five skills – precision, timing/rhythm, showmanship, creativeness and speed. In recent years, younger competitors are incorporating modern dance steps like hip-hop into their routines. No matter which steps a hoop dancer wields, however, she or he is dancing in the footsteps of Tony Whitecloud, founder of the modern hoop dance.

Admission: Per Day (includes event and museum admission): $10 general admission, $9 seniors (65+), $7 American Indians, $3 for children age 4-12, FREE for children under 4.

Kathy was advised to let people know that the BIA and the DNR will be visiting Pow Wow's and Gatherings to check people for violations of carrying eagle, hawk and owl feathers. It seems carrying your card will not be enough. You will need documentation also.

Also please check the link below to protect yourself with how you sell your goods. http://www.iacb.doi.gov/act.html For those who do not know, be sure to have a sign in your booth that says "Not Made by Indians" unless of course you have all the right documents.
