A pow wow (also powwow or pow-wow) is a social gathering held by many different Native American communities. The word derives from the Narragansett word powwaw, meaning "spiritual leader". A similar gathering by California Native Peoples usually in the fall is called a Big Time.

Munster and Soltau were POW camps in Niedersachsen; Lower Saxony in Germany.
The first Belgian POWs arrived in Munster after the Battle of Liège. They were housed in wood army barracks. Within a few weeks tents were used to accommodate new batches of prisoners.
Soltau was known as ' The camp of the Belgians ' . The first Belgian POWs arrived in August 1914. There was no accommodation for them; they slept under the stars. A first camp was built by the POWs [ as far as I know both from Munster and Soltau ] in the course of the autumn and then a second camp was built, right next to the first.
In late autumn 1914 the prisoners of Munster Lager were sent to this 2nd camp while it was still under construction.
Soltau became the largest of the POW camps in Germany. Over 70.000 POWs were interred there during WWI.

Built by Italian POWs during the building of the Churchill Barriers at Scapa Flow during WWII. The camp commander was persuaded to let a group of artists and craftsmen build a chapel from two prefab metal Nissan huts.

The Blood Tribe (= the Kainai) held their annual pow wow just as we were in the area.
A pow wow is a dance competition in several categories (from older chiefs to very young children, as far as I could see). First Nations people from places all over Canada come together to compete and to celebrate their culture.
These women are doing the Jingle Dance, originally a Healing Dance. You can see the bells on their skirts.
Abandoned Meteor City Trading Post, Route 66, Arizona.
Just some Indian-themed, desert tourist-trap-schtick on Route 66, in the largely unpopulated and barren desert stretch between Winslow and Flagstaff.
The old Meteor City Trading Post hasn't been closed down that long - best I can tell, sometime between 2008 and 2011 - and there's already been substantial vandalism to the site, but thankfully, the little teepees that litter the property all still seem to be in place and intact, making it a worthwhile photography stop on your Route 66 roadtrip across the state.
