How to Travel to See Indian Jewelry

Depending on where you live, there are probably Native American Indian events and shows going on in your local area. If not locally, you can easily find listings for Native American Indian powwows online or in Native American Indian newspapers with powwow guides and scheduled events listed in them. Usually, the public is welcome at powwows, where Indian jewelry is available along with other Native arts and crafts from the vendors who set up, show and sell their wares there. Often, Indian casinos sponsor powwows and offer tour and travel packages. Traveling to see Indian jewelry can be fun and educational. If you prefer not to take a guided tour, and do the driving yourself, make sure to make plans to camp or stay in a hotel so you can enjoy more than one day of the event.

Instructions

  1. Preparation

    • 1

      Research powwow listings and schedules offered online or in Indian newspapers.

    • 2

      Call the phone numbers listed in the powwow directories for the specific powwow or powwows you are interested in attending. Verify and confirm that the event is still going to go on, and the exact date and time of the event's "Grand Entry."

    • 3

      Ask if arts and crafts Indian jewelry vendors will be at the powwow. Find out whether or not there is a local casino and other accommodations nearby. If so, get the phone number of the hotel and casino.

    • 4

      Call up the casino and hotel to find out if they also might have a tour available, and if they are offering any deals for people interested in attending the powwow to see Indian jewelry. Write down all information. If the casino is not offering a travel package or deal, you may want to contact your local travel agency to find out if they offer any deals on attending Native American Indian powwows. If not, plan to drive yourself or carpool with a group of friends to travel to the powwow to see Indian jewelry.

    • 5

      Print out a map of the specific location and directions to get to the powwow by driving. Bring plenty of cash. Although some vendors of Indian jewelry do accept credit cards, not all are set up with such services. Have fun and don't be afraid to bargain to make good deals on quality Native American sterling silver Indian jewelry, arts and crafts at the powwow.
