What's coming November 1

Our annual Native American Heritage Month challenge, running November 1 through December 31.

A daily dose of discovery

One email a day with something new to read, watch, cook or make: real history, Native authors, frybread recipes, craft tutorials and pow wow etiquette.

Hunt for bonus codes

Bonus codes are hidden across PowWows.com. Find them, enter them, and rack up extra entries. The more you explore, the better your odds.

Win Native-made prizes

Prizes come from Eighth Generation and PowWows.com. This year's lineup is coming soon, and waitlist members see it first.

  • Never miss a day: updates, reminders and bonus code hints along the way.
