Tesoro Cultural Center celebrates Native heritage with its annual event.
For two days each May, the Tesoro
Cultural Center, headquartered at The Fort restaurant complex in
Morrison, Colorado, hosts its annual Indian Market & Powwow,
Colorado’s largest authentic American Indian art show. The event
benefits the nonprofit’s educational programs promoting the Southwestern
art and cultural heritage.
During the weekend-long event, the Indian Market & Powwow pays
tribute to the tribes that shaped the culture of the area surrounding Bent’s Old Fort,
a historical trading post that operated along the Santa Fe Trail in the
1830s. Nationally acclaimed Native artists and jewelry designers
showcase their unique designs, which are also available for purchase.
More than 50 intertribal dancers and drum groups decked out in
traditional regalia perform, sharing their heritage through traditional
dances.Additionally, educational and interactive exhibits focusing on American Indian culture give every member of the family something to look forward to. And when the kids need a break after eagle and hawk demonstrations from HawkQuest, guests can grab a snack of Southwestern cuisine from The Fort and the Northern Colorado Intertribal Powwow Association.
