Native Trails
Date To Be Determined
Presented by the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation
Come and celebrate the 11th anniversary of Native Trails, a series of free outdoor festivals that celebrate the Native American cultures of the Southwest through song and dance. The season kicks off January 17, 2013 and runs through April 6, 2013. Performances take place from 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. in the outdoor amphitheater at the Scottsdale Civic Center Park.
Native Trails brings together traditional instruments, colorful dances, and customary attire to share the stories of Southwestern tribes, including the Hopi, Diné (Navajo), Akimel Au-Authm and San Carlos Apache. You’ll enjoy dances like the Southwest Horse Dance, inter-tribal pow wow dancing, world championship level hoop dancing and the audience-participation round dance. Native Trails also features American Indian artisans, who will be selling specialty items like jewelry, baskets, flutes and paintings.
New for its 11th anniversary, Native Trails is adding local merchants who will sell fresh and packaged items indigenous to the area. You can buy and take home bread, muffins, and soup mixes that combine staple ingredients used by Hopi, Diné and Zuni tribes. Meanwhile, food vendors will sell local culinary delights that you can enjoy on the spot for a picnic in Scottsdale’s sunny winter weather.
Bring your blanket or lawn chair to Civic Center Park and enjoy idyllic weather and exciting performances that will take you on a journey to the first Nations of Arizona and North America.
