The cost to attend the United Tribes powwow will not be going up this year.

The United Tribes Powwow Committee has declined to increase the $15 entrance fee for one of the longest-running contest powwows in the country.

The United Tribes International Powwow takes place the weekend after Labor Day, Sept. 4-7, on the campus of United Tribes Technical College. It has been held annually since 1969.
