Amid Dispute, Tribe Cancels Julyamsh

The big Julyamsh Pow Wow held annually at the Greyhound Park in Post Falls has been cancelled, the Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort announced Friday. The announcement comes as four Indian tribes in Idaho press the state to outlaw electronic “instant racing” betting machines. One of the locations in the state that has the machines is the Greyhound Park and Event Center. “It is with sincere regret that the Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort announces today that the 2015 Julyamsh Pow Wow has been cancelled,” said a news release. The release said the event is the largest outdoor pow wow in the Northwest and among the largest such events in the nation. It’s been held in Post Falls for 17 years/Addy Hatch, SR. More here.

Question: How many times have you attended Julyamsh?
