A pow-wow (also powwow or pow wow or pau wau)
is a gathering of North America's Native people.
The word derives from the Narragansett word powwaw,
meaning "spiritual leader".

A modern pow-wow is a specific type of event
where both Native American and
non-Native American people meet to dance, sing,
socialize, and honor American Indian culture.

Pow-wows vary in length from a one
day session of 5 to 6 hours to three days.
Major pow-wows or pow-wows called for a
special occasion can be up to one week long.
