14 Weekend POWWOWs

HERMITAGE, TENNESSEE - The annual Native American Indian Association of Tennessee's Powwow and Fall Festival, which always begins on the Third Saturday in October, attracts people from all over the state of Tennessee.

Proceeds of the powwow go to the Native American Indian Association's scholarship fund and emergency relief funds. The motto of the organization is "Indians Working for Indians."

Each October the Indians from around the nation gather to share part of their culture. Not just for the reunion of family and friends, but for tourists who are welcomed to witness the spectacle; to join in the celebration of culture still nurtured by the some 10,000 Indians who call Tennessee home today.

Authentic Indian food, such as fry bread, Indian Tacos and hominy the 'Indian way' will be available.
