Native American culture is celebrated at one of the best Pow-Wows in the country - The Great Mohican Pow-Wow. It was previously named one of the top 100 events in North America by the American Bus Association.

The Great Mohican Pow-Wow will be hosted by Mohican Reservation Camp & Festival Grounds in Loudonville, Ohio twice in 2018 from July 13-15 and September 14-16. The setting is everything. These festival grounds are nestled in secluded wooded hills, lending itself well to the authenticity and beauty of this annual celebration.

The 2018 show features breathtaking tomahawk throwing and fire starting by Coyote Dog,hoop dancing by Moontee Sinquah, colorful ceremonial dancing, music of the Andes Mountains by Malkuri, mesmerizing flutist Douglas Blue Feather, and powerful storytelling by Lance White Eagle. There are also inter-tribal dancing and drum competitions that will free the spirit.

Throughout the festival grounds there are demonstrations of Native American culture. You can get a taste of Native American Indian foods. Plus, more than 40 artisans display and sell a wide variety of Native American made furs, clothes, baskets, art, jewelry, carvings and much more. Don't miss the auction.

Pow-Wows are celebrations that last for days and are remembered for a lifetime. In that tradition, this authentic Pow-Wow is three-days long and multi-day discount packages are available as well as campsites. This scared ritual is the coming together of Native tribes to honor ancestors and renew their traditions and heritage. It is a real cultural presentation - not a hobbyist show.

The Pow-Wow emphasizes lifestyles, fellowship and competition among tribes. It showcases custom dancing, colorful ceremonial dress, the passing down of songs, sharing of foods and storytelling. All of which are critical to the survival of a culture. One of the most spectacular sights at an authentic Pow-Wow is the palate of color woven throughout the festivities.

The Great Mohican Pow-Wow will be hosted by Mohican Reservation Campgrounds at 23270 Wally Road South in Loudonville, Ohio.Admission is $8/adult and $4/child with discounts for two and three day passes as well as for colleges, groups, scouts, teachers, seniors and veterans.
