RAPID CITY – More than 1,200 dancers are expected to participate this weekend in the 24th annual Black Hills Pow Wow.
He Sapa Wacipi runs Friday through Sunday at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center.
It will feature dance competitions, fine arts, a scholarship pageant, a wellness symposium and tournaments for archery, golf, hand games and softball.
Black Hills Pow Wow Association President Stephen Yellowhawk says people of all ages and ethnic backgrounds are invited to experience the culture.
A pow wow by definition is a meeting or conference, but organizers hope this year’s event will also be a celebration that focuses on education.
