Each year in April (next month) the 'Gathering of Nations' is held here.
The Gathering of Nations is the largest pow-wow in the United States and North America.
Over 565 tribes from around the United States, and 220 from Canada travel to Albuquerque to participate.
Attendance approaches 75,000 people.
The Gathering of Nations Powwow is a family event where everyone is invited.
I have not yet heard, but am wondering how this coronavirus may effect it.

(1,997 posts)We go every 4-5 years, and it is always great to visit Albuquerque. It would be a huge deal if they cancel this, but can understand why it might be a good idea since there are so many people who travel from all over the US.
