Melting Tallow, a member of the Blood Tribe, traveled from her current home in Austin, Texas, with her son to compete on historical Cheyenne, Arapahoe and Ute land in the Denver March Powwow last weekend, along with more than 1,000 other dancers and dozens of drum groups from around North America. The event, one of largest powwows in the country, returned after a two year pandemic hiatus.
