Denver's art museum powwow

I thought I knew about all of the local powwows, but I left this out of my Moon Denver guidebook. Don't you miss it too:

On Saturday, September 12, Acoma Plaza will be alive with the music and color of the 20th Annual Denver Art Museum Friendship Powwow & American Indian Cultural Celebration. The free event will begin at 10 a.m. with Gourd Dancing, followed by the grand entry at noon. Dance contests include categories ranging from tiny tot to adult. Artmaking on the plaza will include clay activities, animal painting and photo memories. Experience the sights and sounds of living traditions, connect with working artists and artisans, shop vendors for American Indian jewelry and other great items and enjoy your first (or 101st) piece of fry bread! Powwow activities and Museum admission are free.
