Join us on September 26-28, 2025, at the Lumbee Tribe Cultural Center, for the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina’s “Dance of the Harvest Moon” Powwow. The Lumbee Tribe of NC, a Southeastern Indigenous people with a long-standing tradition of matrilineal societies, is committed to honoring women's vital role as life-givers within our community. For centuries, Lumbee society has been guided by women's strength, wisdom, and resilience.

In recognition of this enduring tradition, the Lumbee Tribe Powwow Committee is pleased to announce the addition of a new Women’s Eastern Woodland Category for participants ages 18–49. This addition reflects our continued commitment to uplift and honor our people's matrilineal foundations. It reminds us that women have always held central roles in shaping, sustaining, and guiding our communities.

Don't miss the dancers from all across the nation as they compete in the specials, which include the Women’s Fancy Spotlight Special, the Grant Dial - Men’s Northern Traditional, the Chairman’s Special - Women’s Southern Traditional, the Fancy, Jingle, Traditional, Grass Dance, and many more. It is a celebration of our Native Culture! Grand Entries will begin on Friday at 7 pm, Saturday at Noon & 6 pm, and Sunday at 1 pm. The Host Hotel is Holiday Inn Express in Pembroke, NC. The Lumbee Tribe Cultural Center is on 683 Terry Sanford Drive in Maxton, NC.
