The last dance? Organizers of North America's largest powwow say 2026 will be the event's final year
Gathering of Nations ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — For decades, tens of thousands of people have descended upon Albuquerque for what is billed as North America's largest powwow, a celebration showcasing Indigenous dancers, musicians and artisans from around the world. Organizers announced Saturday that 2026 will be the last time the cultural event is held, saying via email and social media that it will end after 43 years without providing details on the decision. 'There comes a time,' Gathering of Nations Ltd. said in a statement. The official poster for the 2026 event features the words 'The Last Dance.' Organizers did not immediately respond to phone and email messages seeking comment. The New Mexico fairgrounds have hosted the powwow since 2017, but it's unclear whether the venue would be available for future events given that the state is considering redeveloping the site. There also has been criticism over the years by some Native Americans who said Gathering of Nations organizers were capitalizing on Indigenous culture. Organizers dismissed those claims, saying the money raised goes toward the expenses of putting on the event. While offering spectators a glimpse into Indigenous cultures, large powwows like the one in Albuquerque have become more commercialized events with prize money for dancing and drumming competitions. For some Native American leaders, it can be a struggle to keep traditional cultural practices and commercial powwows from being lumped into the same category. There have been efforts to focus on promoting smaller powwows that are held in tribal communities. At Gathering of Nations, the signature event is the grand entry, in which a colorful procession of dancers spirals into the center of an arena. Participants wear elaborate regalia — some with jingling bells and others with feathers — and dance to rhythmic drumming. The event also features the crowning of Miss Indian World, as well as horse parades in which riders are judged on the craftsmanship of their intricately beaded adornments or feathered headdresses and how well they work with their steeds.

Morgan Wallen Matches One Of Taylor Swift's Biggest Chart Records
After returning to the top spot on the Billboard 200 last week with I'm the Problem, Morgan Wallen once again leads the all-encompassing ranking of the most consumed albums in America. I'm the Problem scores its milestone tenth turn ruling the competitive roster, and as the most recent full-length from the biggest name in country music keeps at No. 1, Wallen joins a very exclusive club of some of the most successful artists of all time. Morgan Wallen Joins Whitney Houston and Taylor Swift According to Billboard, only six musical acts have seen a trio or more of titles live at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for 10 weeks or more. Now that I'm the Problem has reached that landmark sum, Wallen is on the same level as Whitney Houston, the Kingston Trio and Taylor Swift. All four stars have seen exactly three different releases live in first place for double-digit frames. Elvis Presley and The Beatles Win Only two musical acts have accomplished the feat with more than three albums. Both Elvis Presley and The Beatles have done so with four separate charting entities. Morgan Wallen's Albums with 10 Weeks at No. 1 I'm the Problem is tied as Wallen's second-longest-running No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with 10 weeks running the show to its credit. I'm the Problem is now matched with Dangerous: The Double Album, which stopped commanding the Billboard 200 after its tenth frame. One Thing at a Time, which preceded I'm the Problem, is one of the longest-ruling projects ever, as it tallied up 19 turns in the spotlight. Morgan Wallen May Not Be Done Ruling Despite the fact that it has now lived on the Billboard 200 for 12 weeks, I'm the Problem easily fends off the competition to hold at No. 1. According to Luminate, in the past tracking period, Wallen's full-length moved 136,000 equivalent units. Its closest competitor, the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack, shifted just over 100,000. It's highly likely that Wallen will add to his growing sum again, and even if he steps away to allow other projects to lead — as he has recently for both JackBoys 2 by Travis Scott and his group JackBoys, as well as Don't Tap the Glass by Tyler, the Creator — I'm the Problem will have a good shot at returning for the next couple of weeks, if not months.
