Description of Event

U.S. government agents in the late 1800s determined to stamp out Indian culture, including traditional ceremonies. But how could they say no when leaders of the Salish-Pend Oreille tribes asked permission to celebrate the nation’s birthday? Now in its 113th year, the Arlee Pow-Wow continues to blend the customary and contemporary over the Fourth of July weekend.

This celebration is the premier annual celebration of the Salish and Pend d'Oreille tribes, sponsored by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribal Nation. The Pow Wow includes drumming, singing and dancing contests, gambling, food, arts and crafts, and a big July 4 parade.
