The Gathering of Nations (GON) is a highly anticipated event that brings together the Native American community and others for a time of celebration and comradery. As many of you know, the 37th annual Gathering of Nations event that was scheduled for April 2020 has been canceled due to the ongoing pandemic. The event will return on April 22-24, 2021 on the Pow Wow Grounds at Expo New Mexico’s Tingley Coliseum.

For now, we hope that the embedded video featuring footage from last year’s event will bring you some joy and foster a sense of excitement for next year’s celebration.

GON is the largest Pow Wow event in North America with thousands of attendees, hundreds of vendors at the Traders’ Market, and tons of activities and shows that the entire family can enjoy. The event’s singing and dancing programs alone feature more than 3,000 participants who represent all Native Nations from around the U.S. and Canada. There are also more than 30 music groups and other stage performances, as well as the always anticipated crowning of Miss Indian World. The Native Food Court offers authentic cuisine for everyone to enjoy in between all of the daily happenings.
