This weekend on April 24-35 will be the last Gathering of Nations event, with promoters calling it the “The Last Dance.” The event brings in close to 100 thousand visitors every year and is often branded as the “Largest North American Powwow.” KUNM spoke with executive producer Pony Vigil, who is Diné, and will document the last official powwow and create a rock-umentary from the footage.
