Plans taking shape for second annual Smoking River Pow Wow Sept. 25-26 MEEKER — Organizers of the Smoking River Pow Wow met last week to, uh, powwow about this year’s event, scheduled for the last weekend in September.

Date uncertain, but planning is under way MEEKER — Details haven’t been finalized, but there will be another Smoking River Pow-wow next year. The first Smoking River Powwow took place July 25 and 26 at Ute Park in Meeker.

MEEKER — Historic sites were visited, long-ago events —still painful for both sides — were remembered, and past fears and attitudes, reinforced by years of misunderstanding and resentment, were discussed openly. Yes, last weekend’s Smoking River Powwow was significant for many reasons.
