Powwow for the Planet to raise awareness of sacred national monuments in Nevada

The Powwow for the Planet will be held on Saturday and Sunday at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The event will highlight the cultural and spiritual significance of national monuments on tribal lands, such as Avi Kwa Ame and Gold Butte. The powwow will feature traditional dances, a new drumming contest, and public intertribals. Organizers also want to raise awareness of sacred sites that tribal nations are proposing as monuments, such as Bahsahwahbee and East Las Vegas.
