Spotlight 29 Casino hosts Winter Gathering Pow Wow11 November 2013COACHELLA, California -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Native American culture will come alive with Native American song and dance at the festive Winter Gathering POW WOW presented by the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians from Friday through Sunday, December 6-8, 2013, at the Spotlight 29 Casino Spotlight Showroom. Admission is free. Native Americans from across the United States and Canada attend the gathering for a breathtaking display of traditional handmade dresses, dancing, songs, arts, crafts and food. For those who haven’t attended a POW WOW, this is an opportunity for people young and old to participate in a memorable cultural event steeped in Native American tradition and heritage. The Winter Gathering POW WOW brings tribes together to compete in various dances and drum contests. In previous years, more than 300 people of all ages competed.

Prizes are awarded for the top performers in every category. Be sure to join the fun on Saturday for the Spectacular Iron Man Fancy Special and on Sunday for our Men and Women’s Team Dance Special.
