Russell High School fieldhouse, hosted by the Great Falls Public Schools Indigenous Education Department.<\/p>\n<p>94.5 Max Country reported the event Oct. 6, citing the department&#8217;s social media, and a district staff member listed the Nov. 14 date at a September meeting of the Montana Advisory Council on Indian Education. According to the radio report, registration opens at 8:30 a.m., grand entry is at 10 a.m., and a community feed follows.<\/p>\n<h2>Great Falls powwow November 2026 schedule<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>When:<\/strong> Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>Where:<\/strong> C.M. Russell High School fieldhouse (CMR fieldhouse), Great Falls<\/li>\n<li><strong>Registration:<\/strong> 8:30 a.m. (per the radio report)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Grand entry:<\/strong> 10 a.m. (per the radio report)<\/li>\n<li><strong>After:<\/strong> community feed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The powwow is part of the department&#8217;s November programs, which the station&#8217;s report describes as a celebration of &#8220;National Indigenous People&#8217;s Month.&#8221; The station also reported a Jingle Dress Workshop for students Nov. 12 through 14.<\/p>\n<p>The station&#8217;s report did not list a host drum, head staff, contest categories, admission or a public contact. KHEW has not confirmed those details or the times with the department, and readers planning to dance, sing or bring a family should check with the Indigenous Education Department before making the trip. The source story links to the department&#8217;s social media page and the Great Falls Public Schools website.<\/p>\n<h2>Why it matters on the Hi-Line<\/h2>\n<p>KHEW did not find another publicly listed powwow closer to the Hi-Line for this fall when we checked Oct. 13. Great Falls is a long drive from Rocky Boy and Havre, so it&#8217;s worth confirming the details before you head south.<\/p>\n<p>The department runs cultural classes and events through the school year for Native students in Great Falls, according to the station&#8217;s report. It also marked Indigenous Peoples&#8217; Day on Oct. 12, the first year Montana recognized the day. KHEW covered that here: <a href=\"https:\/\/khew.org\/news\/montana-first-indigenous-peoples-day-2026\/\">Montana&#8217;s First Indigenous Peoples&#8217; Day Marked Oct. 12<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If your community has a powwow or round dance coming up, send KHEW a public flyer or listing and we will add it to our calendar.<\/p>\n<h2>Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/945maxcountry.com\/community-powwow-november-celebration\/\">94.5 Max Country: Great Falls Community Pow Wow Set for November at CMR (Oct. 6, 2026)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/opifiles.mt.gov\/portals\/182\/Page%20Files\/Indian%20Education\/MACIE\/Minutes\/_September%20MACIE%20Meeting%20Minutes%20(1).pdf\">Montana OPI: September MACIE meeting minutes (PDF)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Great Falls Public Schools&#8217; Indigenous Education Department will host a community powwow Saturday, Nov. 14, at the C.M.
