Welcome to Native American People of the Plains and Beyond (NAPPB)! Our organization is committed to uniting Native American people, sharing our rich heritage, and promoting positive recognition of our presence. As a 501c3 Charity Organization, we are dedicated to bringing our culture, heritage, and conservation efforts to Lubbock, Texas and surrounding counties. Join us in our mission to recognize the importance of Native American people in today's generation.
We are here, taking the initiative to educate people about Native American culture and celebrations through our website. The Powwow articles from the Smithsonian Institute and Powwows.com, found on the History page, are excellent resources to help visitors understand the history and culture behind powwows. We are actively reaching out to Native Americans in our area and hoping to connect with them. In 2022, Lubbock, Texas, by that census, showed that there were 2,012 residents registered as Native American. With that added to our surrounding area, Lynn County, Ector County and Cameron County, that brings the total to 4,314. We are sure that in 2024 there are more. Powwow's give us all the chance to gather and celebrate these different societies together. So if you've never been to a powwow, or would like more information, visit our Events page and History page.
