This event is the biggest disgrace to Native American culture I have ever seen.
As a native traditional dancer, I am among the many who boycott this event. It's put on by a bunch of white people that don't know the first thing about a Saama offering! And don't get me started on the gourd dance - (Watching paint dry is more entertaining!)
Dancers are charged to dance, the giveaway is only for those in the private club, and they don't follow local traditions in the least. Save your hard earned money for better powwows like the black river powwow in wadhams or the oscoda powwow!

Geneseefun is brought to you by the Greater Flint Arts Council (GFAC), a nonprofit organization connecting residents and visitors to arts and culture to enrich the Flint region of Michigan.
Thousands visit Michigan yearly to get a glimpse of its mesmerizing Great Lakes. We'll give you another reason - automotive history. Since the early 1900s, the automotive industry has touched millions of families that call Michigan home. We invite you, and your families, to step back in time and discover these incredible automotive stories. At the Sloan Museum and Buick Gallery, witness the birth of General Motors, the UAW and the manufacturing industry that made Flint a leading industrial center. Then travel 30 minutes south of Flint, to Auburn Hills, and enjoy the "ride" at the Walter P. Chrysler Museum where more than 65 antique, custom and concept vehicles celebrate the proud American heritage of an automotive original. Then, somewhere between the fun, tour one of Flint's oldest Victorian Era homes, the Whaley Historical House Museum (optional tickets available).
Discounted, overnight packages are available starting as low as $75 per night, for a family of four, and includes admission to the Sloan/Buick Gallery, the Chrysler Museum and overnight accommodations at a Flint/Genesee County area hotel of your choice. For more information, visit "Overnight Pure FunPaks" or call the Flint-Genesee County Convention & Visitors Bureau at (810) 232-3261 or toll free at 1-877-FLINT-MI.
