STARVED ROCK POWWOW
November 1st.
Join us in Utica, IL at the Village Hall (248 W Canal St) for a vibrant celebration of Native American culture with the Starved Rock Powwow.
Hosted by the nonprofit Illinois Valley Intertribal, this event revives the cherished Harvest Ceremonial: an annual event, started in 1962 by the Sine family, that was beloved by the greater Illinois Valley community.
We hope that this first annual Starved Rock Powwow will be reminiscent of the iconic Ceremonials held by the Sines.
