Poplar Indian Days Pow Wow in 2022

Poplar is a city in Roosevelt County, Montana, United States. The population was 758 at the 2020 census.[2] It is the tribal headquarters for the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, though Wolf Point is the most populous.[3] The reservation is home to both the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes, two distinct American Indian Nations.

The U.S. Army constructed Camp Poplar here in the 1870s to oversee the reservation.[4] Poplar became reservation headquarters after the military abandoned the camp in 1893.

Poplar hosts a Native American Pow Wow called Poplar Indian Days every year, the first weekend in September that is well attended by locals and traveling dancers with prizes for dancers and drummers. [5]
