Iron Hill Powwow
On behalf of the Powwow Committee and the Delaware Academy of Science:
We are truly sorry for canceling the Iron Hill Powwow for 2025. We had talks that the powwow was to take place this year on October 11, 2025. The reason for the cancellation is the lack of funding. Every year the organization has had the fortune of receiving grants to pay for native artists, scholars, and logistics. Due to current economic shifts and pullbacks, we felt it wise to regroup, refocus, and start trying now for 2026. We are working on posting other photos from previous years.
See you next year. If you want to help make 2026 bigger and stronger, you can donate to the powwow by clicking on the Powwow Donation button below.

What is a Powwow?
The powwow is a modern celebration that can be seen within many Native American nations. All year-round, powwows are put on in the United States and Canada. Each event is made up of singers and dancers that wish to come together to express their culture through music and dancing. Modern powwows pull elements from many native nations around the continent, so every region might do something a little different. The one thing all of them have in common is sharing cultures.
