The “Moving Forward Together” Traditional Powwow is coming to Fallon, from June 3rd through the 5th. Churchill Community Coalition, Native Voters Alliance of Nevada, and local Native American community members are the hosts. The powwow is being held at the Rafter 3C Arena on the Churchill County Fairgrounds at 325 Sheckler Road. Admission is free and open to all.

This will be the first large powwow held in Fallon for over a decade. It is a celebration of Indigenous wellness, with a focus on healing, artistry, creativity, and culture. The event intends to gather people together to find purpose, joy, and heal from the loss and grief of the COVID-19 pandemic.

There will be dancing, food vendors, arts & crafts, and singing & drumming. Specials will include honoring those who have passed, including a Duck & Dive Competition in honor of Monty Williams and a Memorial Hand Drum Competition in honor of Keith Andren.

A Traditional Feed will be provided Saturday evening.

The “Moving Forward Together” Traditional Powwow will have many performances, educational opportunities, and resources for everyone to enjoy. If you are interested in supporting our event, we have many different opportunities. We are currently accepting sponsors if you would like to support this event and advertise your business. There are 5 levels of sponsorship available. We have limited space left for food, community resources, and arts & crafts booths.

They strung them along for years until they had no financial choice but to accept and get out. My Dad even hauled water for the Snow ranch trying to stay afloat. May God bless you all. I truly pray it works out for you.Comment publication date: 3/28/26, 9:22 PMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Lynn JohnsonComment text: I remember your mother well; she was a lovely and kind woman.

I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking.
