Vendors set up canopies around the perimeter of the field and offered food, jewelry, clothing and information on resources available to local Native Americans. The changes did not deter the dancers, drummers and singers from sharing their talent with spectators that were seated in the bleachers overlooking the football field. It was also held at The Oaks instead of the outdoor arena near Soboba’s original casino. What was different this year was that it was a one-day-only event rather than three days as in the past. The Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians hosted its 23rd annual Payomkawichum (People of the West) Inter-Tribal Pow Wow on Saturday.
