Native American tribes from across North American gathered over the weekend at Spring Lake, the headwaters of the San Marcos River, for the 2019 Sacred Springs Powwow. Dancers competed for prizes in several categories, accompanied by song and the beat of drums. Vendors were also on hand selling food and a variety of handmade crafts, and lectures and educational events were held in a separate tent. The annual event is made possible by the Indigenous Cultures Institute and the Tomblin Family Foundation.
