#Breaking: Gathering of Nations, once considered North America's Largest Powwow, has announced that 2026 will be their final event. 🚨 The announcement follows years of increased public scrutiny over the powwow’s ownership. Founded in 1983 by Derek Matthews and originally held at the University of New Mexico, the event moved to the New Mexico State Fairgrounds in 2017. "Several factors beyond our control make long-term planning and coordination challenging. With that in mind, we have chosen to close this chapter" – gatheringofnations. #TurtleIsland: Share your reaction in the comments. 💭⤵️ (via gatheringofnations) #GatheringOfNations #TheLastDance #2026
