The 29th Annual Sampson Family Intertribal Honouring Wətanmy Powwow. Formerly known as the Yellow Wolf Powwow, now returned to it's original name.
Throughout the weekend there will be dances, honourings, vendors, fundraisers, a concession stand, camping, and more!
Over these past couple of years while we have all been having to deal with Covid-19, we have missed being able to share our mother Alice “Wətanmy” Sampson's culture with you all. As many of you know each year we gather to honour the teachings of our ancestors on the Nez Perce side of our heritage. Alice “Wətanmy” Sampson was born into the Nez Perce Nation in Ahsahka, Idaho.
She was very proud of her heritage, but when she came to marry our Father Francis Sampson, she let go of the teachings of the Nez Perce ways and lived our Father’s cultural practices & way of life (Coast Salish). When our Father passed away our Mother began visiting our family in Idaho and returned to the powwow. She passed on her teachings of the powwow to her children, and today we carry on those traditions, and we teach them to our children and grandchildren. Throughout this weekend we will share just a little of Mother's cultural ways.
