HOPKINS, Mich. —Thousands of Potawatomi (Bodéwadmi) from 12 different tribal nations from the United States and Canada met for the last day of the 2025 Pottawatomi Gathering at Jijak Camp, which is the home to the powwow grounds of the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Potawatomi, commonly known as the Gun Lake Tribe, the host of this year's Gathering.
Beginning on Friday evening, three powwows were held. On Friday night, some 500 dancers registered to dance with fellow Potawatomi tribal citizens from the various Potawatomi bands from around the Indian Country.

Help us defend tribal sovereignty.
At Native News Online, our mission is rooted in telling the stories that strengthen sovereignty and uplift Indigenous voices — not just at year’s end, but every single day.
Because of your generosity last year, we were able to keep our reporters on the ground in tribal communities, at national gatherings and in the halls of Congress — covering the issues that matter most to Indian Country: sovereignty, culture, education, health and economic opportunity.
That support sustained us through a tough year in 2025. Now, as we look to the year ahead, we need your help right now to ensure warrior journalism remains strong — reporting that defends tribal sovereignty, amplifies Native truth, and holds power accountable.
The stakes couldn't be higher. Your support keeps Native voices heard, Native stories told and Native sovereignty defended.
Stand with Warrior Journalism today.
