Upcoming Pow Wows, Native Leaders Make History, Holiday Gift Guide, 4 Hidden Bonus Codes


Hey Reader,

Last week's election was a big one for Indian Country. So many Native leaders are stepping into new roles, including Deb Haaland (Pueblo of Laguna), the first Native American woman elected governor, and Peggy Flanagan (White Earth Nation), the first Native American woman elected to the U.S. Senate.

​See our post for the full list →​

The Explore Native Challenge has kicked off, and I've been hiding bonus codes all week: in the live streams, on the website, and in even more places. Keep looking.

You don't have to have the most codes to win. The more you get, the better your odds, but it only takes 1 to win.

I hid 4 more bonus codes in this email. Read all the way to the bottom to find them, then enter them at powwows.com/win.

Thanks for all your support!

Thanks,
