Julyamsh, the Coeur d’Alene Tribe’s annual powwow, will move to the Kootenai County Fairgrounds this summer. The event last was held in 2014 and had been at the Greyhound Park Event Center in Post Falls for 17 years. The tribe broke off its relationship with that venue over legal and political disagreements related to the Greyhound Park’s installation of “instant racing” betting machines. The largest outdoor powwow in the Northwest, Julyamsh will be held July 22-24 at the fairground sin Coeur d’Alene, the tribe said Thursday/ Scott Maben , SR. More here .
