The River Tribes welcome visitors to their communities with a number of great events. The Avi Kwa Ame Pow Wow, held in February at the Fort Mojave Indian Tribe’s plush resort near Bullhead City gives visitors an opportunity to enjoy the mild winter weather and entertaining powwow action. There’s also traditional Mojave dancing and songs, and plenty of cultural foods. In March, enjoy a weekend with the Quechan Tribe near Yuma during the San Pasqual Pow Wow. This powwow is a social event, rather than a competitive powwow.
