Saturday was the second day of the 36th annual Numaga Indian Days Powwow.
The event brings together people from all over the country to celebrate and share their traditions.
Along with the dancing and competitions, one indigenous dancer says there is a deeper meaning being the three-day powwow.
"This is where a lot of people come to get their healing and get grounded you know what I mean? And it is also a social too, but the dance gives you a lot of energy and it gives people energy. There's people that come to powwows to watch and feel that energy and kind of bless them," said Misun Mills, the Headman Dancer for the Powwow.
There are multiple different categories for the dancing competitions, featuring a number of age groups.
Dancers wear handmade clothing that is often passed down through generations, and the designs represent were someone is from.
Dancers say it is an honor to represent their tribe at an event like this, and it is also fun to compete against others.
One member of the local Reno-Sparks Indian Colony says he's been attending powwows for a long time, and seeing the growth over the years has been special.
"I've been going to powwows since the early 70s and now it has really grown, and it is nice to see the amount of the people, the youth who have really come out and dance. The numbers are really big, it is exciting," said Bucky Harjo, Public Relations Assistant for the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony.
This event is free to the public and it features food, art, and traditional clothing for purchase.
