The Calgary Stampede, probably the largest gathering in western North America
encompasses the July 4 "Holiday", and the Crow Fair is usually around the 3rd
weekend of August.

July 15-16, Tipsaw Lake, Hoosier Nat'l Forest on SR 37, just
south of 164, North of Tell City, Indiana (219) 278-7021

To confirm the date in Elmo, Montana, for their annual PowWow, the
phone number in ** 1993 ** was: 406/ 8499-5541.

The Arlee Montana is usually the week of July 4, and lasts 5 or 6 days.
This year will be their 97th Annual gathering. The person who notified
"us" about it last year was: coopext.cahe.wsu.edu!pablob
The contact phone number was 4086/ 745-4572. The community center
phone number is 406/ 745-4242.

The BEST/EASIEST way to get dates/places/phone numbers for the North American
PowWows is by phoning: 1-800-695-2241 and ordering the annual
PowWow Calendar. Last year it was $6.95. If you are on a phone
budget, write to them at:
