Note: Social and ceremonial gatherings practiced across Native North American communities. While powwows vary across setting and community, most powwows consist of a Grand Entry, which introduces veterans, and a series of powwow-specific dances, such as the Grass Dance or Fancy Shawl Dance. Term is derived from the Eastern Algonquin word "pahwayaw" or "pau wau" for a gathering or ceremony.
