Osiyo, and welcome to the Strong Sun Pow Wow web site. This
is an Inter tribal treaching PowWow. In 2011, the Strong Sun Pow Wow will take place at a new, expanded site. With
advisement from the Tribal Council, an agreement was reached with Tanglewood Park, for Pow Wow again in Clemmons,
NC. There are sites of two Native American villages and an un-named fort on park grounds, which belonged to our
ancestors. This location is well suited to the Strong Sun Pow Wow and will allow the Pow Wow to grow in continued
celebration of Native American culture and in promoting an understanding of Native American people.
Approximately
1000 people normally pass through Tanglewoods Park's gate on a given day during peak seaon. The Strong Sun
Pow Wow will be following the Tanglewood 4th of July Celebration, a major event for the park. In 2009, more than
3500 people attended the Strong Sun Pow Wow. With more people being aware of this event, attendance will likely far
exceed past years.
The Pow Wow grounds are within
30 yards of the Yadkin River. Fairly near the Park are fish traps in the Yadkin River that were built by our people.
If nets were placed in them today, they would work as well as they did in 1500 and before.
We wish
to thank Historic Bethabara Park for the time shared with them and wish them well as we journey down our paths.
There
are many special event's planned for the 2011 Strong Sun Pow Wow.
Featured will be a concert of renowned
Cherokee Native American flutists and drummers, dancers in traditional regalia and ceremonies honoring veterans, as well
as many other memorable events. Native American crafts people from across the country will display their crafts and food
vendors will offer traditional Pow Wow menu items.
