Meskwaki Powwow

Meskwaki Powwow Meskwaki Annual Powwow The Annual Meskwaki Powwow originated from the traditional religious and social beliefs of the Meskwaki Tribe.

Today, it is not so much a religious event, but more of a social gathering. Specifically, today's event, is derived from the "Green Corn Dance" and other social events of the Tribe in it's early years. The "Green Corn Dance" was an annual event that took place during the harvesting of crops.
