Pabanamanina Gathering
The Paiute Palace Casino is hosting the Pabanamanina Gathering on its new pow wow grounds.
This inter-tribal gathering to celebrates different tribal cultures with dance and spiritual events during the fourth weekend in September.
The festivities are open to everyone and start with a parade on Friday, California Indian Day, and continue through Sunday. Hundreds of Native American dancers, drummers and others from around the nation will descend upon Bishop to show off their regalia and their traditional regional dances.
There will also be music, a free barbecue Saturday of a steer cut from the Tribal herd and Native American artists selling wares. Handgames, one of the oldest Owens Valley Paiute and Shoshone Indian traditions, that can be traced back to some Creation stories, will also be performed. Many contests take place to honor the Paiute way of life such as hand game tournaments, hand drum and clapper contests.
