Pow Wow

Central Wyoming College will host its first Teton Pow Wow on Saturday, hoping to initiate a regular cultural exchange between Jackson Hole and the tribes on the Wind River Reservation.

Wyoming isn’t always known as a bastion of cultural intersection, but for Saturday afternoon the Teton County Fairgrounds will facilitate an exchange centuries in the making.

For six hours the fairgrounds will transform from a cowboy landmark to an extension of Indian Country for the first-ever Teton Pow Wow. Hosted by Central Wyoming College’s United Tribes Club, the gathering is similar to events the club has held at the college’s main campus in Riverton.
