Mankato (Mahkato) Annual 40th Traditional Pow-Wow Honoring the 38 Dakota - September 21-23, 2012
Every September Native Americans from a number of tribes gather in Mankato’s Land of Memories Park, where the Dakota people held many ceremonies and gatherings before the U.S.-Dakota Conflict of 1862. The conflict resulted in the execution of 38 Dakota warriors in Mankato on December 26, 1862. The Pow-wow, which is co-sponsored and co-organized by the Mdewakanton Association, costs $5 for the weekend. It has been held in Mankato since 1972. The three-day event includes the beautiful regalia of the dancers, traditional music, delicious foods and beautiful crafts. The event is open Friday from 3 p.m. until the dancers are done dancing, Saturday from 9 a.m. until the dancers are done dancing and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The pow-wow is open to both natives and non-natives.
