ALL-INDIAN RODEO
A full schedule of rodeo events for the Indian
cowboys will get underway each afternoon at
1:30 p.m. at the Pow Wow in the arena at
City Park. The action, which is rapid and
continuous, will keep the camera bugs
hopping from the beginning to the end of
the show.
The Indian cowboys, although amateur
contestants in the Pow Wow, have long and
tedious hours of everyday range experience
and practice behind them when
Pow Wow time rolls around.
Most of the entrants come from the
huge Navajo Reservation located near
Flagstaff. Some, however, are Apache,
Hualapai, Havasupai or even
Chemhuevi. But what ever their
trib~, there will be high competition
and friendly rivalry
between tribes and individuals
in all events.

Well in advance of the three-day Pow
celebration tents will appear amo~g the pines
in Flagstaff City Park. Campfires will dot the
night in increasing numbers as thousands of
Indians add shape and substance to one of the
unique and interesting features of the Pow Wow,
the Indian Encampment.
As the opening day of the festival draws
near, the Indians will squeeze into every available
space. Trucks, cars and wagons are sandwiched
between tents, many of which also serve
as shelter for the families.
There is always something to see. Many
visitors stroll about the encampment in the early
evening hours and view the preparations for the
evening performance of the ceremonial dances.
Visitors are welcome and expected in the
Indian Encampment as the Indians bring many
of their handicrafts from the reservations to sell
at the Pow Wow celebration. Navajo women
hang brilliantly colored rugs from ropes strung
between the trees, or over the tailgates of pickup
trucks. Intricate and beautiful jewelry is also
displayed. Native skill and workmanship is represented
in crafts of every description and displayed
along the main road.

This year marks the 35th aniversary of this
all-Indian event. During the 20'S a
local service organization staged a
July Fourth celebratioe which at-tracted
such a large number of In-dian
spectators that it was sug-gested
to start an Indian Show.
The idea was accepted, and the
Indians were invited to journey
to town for a community cele-bration.
With plenty of free
food, games, races, and the
chance to dance, the success
of the first celebration
was practically assured.
It set the pattern th~t marks
the Pow Wow we see today.
The annual celebration has been
produced since 1934 by Pow
Wow Inc., a non-profit organization
with a board of directors who serve
without pay. The board, composed
of local business and profesional men,
meet with tribal leaders to decide the
many policy decisions necessary to keep
the events authentic and yet entertaining
to Indian and spectators alike.
