The Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana will host its 24th Annual Pow Wow at Paragon Casino Resort at the Chief Joseph Alcide Pierite Pow Wow Grounds on the Tunica-Biloxi Reservation.

American Indian singers, dancers and crafts people from throughout North America will converge on the Tunica-Biloxi Reservation to celebrate Tunica-Biloxi and other Native American cultures. The Pow Wow represents an annual homecoming for the Tunica-Biloxi people. We welcome the public to be part of our celebration and learn about the multi-cultural traditions of Native Americans.

An important component of our American Indian festival is the Pow Wow Education Day program on Native American folklore, music and dance for children from Avoyelles, Rapides and surrounding parishes on May 17th at the Chief Joseph Alcide Pierite Pow Wow Grounds on the Tunica-Biloxi Reservation at Marksville, LA, 71351. (Outdoors). Tunica-Biloxi and other native people from various tribes present information highlighting history and life ways from their traditions. This free program is a rare and valuable opportunity for students to learn firsthand about Indian cultures from native people.
