Every March, American Indians go to Denver, Colorado to attend a large-scale American Indian prayer ceremony. The Pawa Festival has entered its 43rd session this year. Since 2009, it has attracted the participation of men, women and children from 35 states and Canada.

Pawa Festival originated from native American grassland dance, which is a form of preserving their culture. The theme of modern Pawa Festival revolves around the Native American values of generosity, honor, dignity and mutual respect, which strengthens the ties and trust among Native American tribes. They celebrate their history and culture through handicrafts, storytelling, music and dancing.

There are three kinds of dances in Pawa Festival: grand entrance, inter-tribal dance and competitive dance. Native Americans paraded in traditional costumes with their own characteristics, singing and dancing, showing the essence of traditional cultures of all ethnic groups.

Navajo people in the United States put on traditional costumes and danced happily at the Pawa Festival.
