ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- The Gathering of Nations (GON) Powwow hosted its 40th annual event this weekend to crowds in the tens of thousands.
Organizers coin the event as North America's largest powwow, and this year's tally of registered dancers reached more than 3,000, representing hundreds of tribes from the United States and Canada.
The Powwow competition's purse included more than $200,000 in cash prizes. Host drums for this year's powwow were Showtime as the Northern Drum from Rapid City, S.D., and Cozad from Hog Creek, Okla. as the Southern Drum.
