to our powwow chefs

Aunty Caroline Begay has provided frybread every year at the Annual Honolulu Intertribal Powwow™️ as our head chef since 2018. Her sister Rose Whitehorn was our head chef from 2012-2013. We are so thankful for all of our chefs and helpers who have contributed their leadership and expertise over the years to ensure our frybread booth shares quality frybread and ‘Indian Tacos’ to the community. All proceeds support the following year’s powwow! So, we hope to see you next year! 

Congrats to
our first powwow princess!

Our first ever Powwow Princess, Moon Mares, and her ‘Ohana (family) have been involved with our Annual Honolulu Intertribal Powwow™️ for over 40 years. Her Grandmother Leilani Collins has been a longtime Native artisan creating beautiful jewelry pieces with exquisite craftsmanship. Moon’s mother Teuila Collins has been a longtime attendee of our community gatherings and even coordinated the 2008 and 2009 Annual Honolulu Intertribal Powwow™️ with her mother Leilani. Moon’s father Jorge Mares has been a drummer with our very own 808NDNZ since 2007 often answering the call to sing healing songs for elders in the community. Moon is excited to represent her family and Native roots for our 49th Annual Honolulu Intertribal Powwow™️!
