Published 3 days ago • 9 min read
Have you checked out our new community, The Circle? It’s really starting to take off! There are some great conversations happening, and today we kicked off a special challenge for Native American Heritage Month.
Come join in and see what everyone’s talking about.
I just got back from MVCon in Boston — it’s the conference hosted by Mediavine, our ad network. Ads have been one of the main ways PowWows.com has kept going all these years. They’ve helped us livestream events, create resources, and keep everything running.
But the online ad world is changing fast with AI and Google updates, so I’m working hard to find new ways to keep PowWows.com strong for the future.
And I could use your help!
Here are a few simple ways you can make a real difference:
1️⃣ Click the links in this newsletter. Every click loads ads that help support the site — so go ahead, click a few (or ten)! 😃
2️⃣ Join Pow Wow Insiders. Get exclusive updates, perks, and behind-the-scenes info.
3️⃣ Upgrade to Circle+. Get access to premium spaces and our This Week in Native History newsletter.
We’re getting close to celebrating 30 years of PowWows.com, and I couldn’t be more thankful for all of you who make it possible.
And if you’re flying soon — pack your patience. One of my flights home got canceled after we boarded because of air traffic delays and weather. Ended up spending another night in Boston!
Thanks again for all your support and for being part of this amazing community.
Archaeologists have found evidence of the native people and what would become America creating jewelry from the stones, shells, and other natural materials as far back as 10,000 years ago. As the millennia went on, turquoise jewelry became one of the more prominent varieties made specifically by tribes in the Southwest. This was, after all, where the turquoise stone was naturally found in some quantities.
🌿 Nov 8, 1978 — Indian Child Welfare Act signed into law This one’s huge.

Before this law, many kids were adopted out of their culture entirely — losing their language, their family, and their tribal identi...
A Pow Wow is a Native American tradition that brings together many different tribes and communities. It’s a special event for Native American communities that celebrates dance, song, and socializing and honors a rich heritage. While some Pow Wows are private and only for various Native American communities, many are open to the public. If you see it listed in our Pow Wow Calendar, it is open to the public.
Pow Wows are amazing celebrations to experience in person, which is why all should visit one at least once in their life. But if you do, here are some things you need to know when attending a Pow Wow. If you are not able to travel to a Pow Wow, you can watch them live on PowWows.com.

I’ve been quietly testing this space for the past few weeks, tweaking, learning, and making sure it feels right before opening the doors to everyone. And now it’s finally time, and I’m so excited you’re here. This is our new home, a place where we can connect without algorithms deciding who sees what. A space for real conversations, shared exper...
