History of the Upper Current River Powwow
Blankets and sunshades around arena give you an idea of how many are dancing.
2005 and
2006 powwow had 6000 to 8000 people attend, after the take over of
2006 attendance
dropped dramatically to approx. a few thousand, if that. As of 2/26/08 US
Foods was owed
$2393.93 from May of 2008 and was sent to collections.
2009 Powwow
Canceled
2008 Powwow
2008 James Ellis (new leadership) reported there to be 2000 in attendance
with 60 dancers and 22 Gourd Dancers but it doesn't
