The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe hosts their 94rd Annual Pow Wow, an event that celebrates the heritage and culture of the “People of the First Light” and features three days of solemn, spiritual and festive activities.

Highlights include a Traditional Dance Contest, Traditional Drumming Contest, arts and crafts and musical performances.

Winning competitors are eligible for $30,000 in prizes.

A special highlight of the Pow Wow will be “Fireball.” Played with a fire-lit ball that’s kicked and carried, “Fireball” is played to heal the sick and ailing, sacrificing the players’ own pain for the sake of loved ones.

(Due to ceremonial nature, no photos are allowed at this event)

Native American handcrafts and cuisine will also be showcased, including a traditional New England Clam Bake, which was invented by the Wampanoag tribe centuries ago.
