Powwows are frequently held in the Northwest. It is a time for Native Americans to join together to honor and celebrate their heritage. My own Cherokee heritage has drawn me to discovering more about Native American culture. I attend these powwows in the hope of documenting some of these events to carry on to future generations. Great power and beauty can be seen in the faces.
