Founded in 1983, Gathering of Nations, Ltd., is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of Native American traditions, culture, and experience. The organization hosts the annual Gathering of Nations Powwow, most recently held in April 2011 at The University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.

A leader in Native American events, the annual Gathering of Nations Powwow stands as the continent's largest powwow and serves as a premier showcase of Indian dance, arts, and heritage. An inclusive program, the Gathering of Nations Powwow offers Native Americans and others a unique opportunity to witness and experience the traditions of more than 750 tribes throughout North America. The 2011 event featured more than 30 unique indigenous drum groups, as well as 800 crafters and various performers, vendors, and food sellers.

Committed to the next generation, Gathering of Nations founded and finances an academic scholarship benefiting Native American students attending The University of New Mexico. In addition, the organization provides financial support to give computers to Native Americans with disabilities, and it has established a fund that sends young American Indian students to sports camps.
