I came here for the annual Powwow, not the casino. That being said, it was a smaller Powwow than I am used to going to. There were maybe 20 venue stands or so, including food. Food was priced typically for all summer Powwows in the area-around $3-$15, but filling, and delicious. The Powwow and it's attendees here (open to the public) had a very tight knit family feel to it, like going to a large family gathering picnic- in the sense that everyone was so kind and sweet to me, and that I, as a non indigenous person, was made to feel very welcomed. I was even given free food from a gentleman because he said I made him laugh when I was ordering some fry bread.

It was a lovely spiritual and inviting atmosphere, and I'll return tomorrow to enjoy the company of friends and family.
