Wanted 2017 Miss Indian World Contestants

Do you know of an outstanding Native American/Indigenous young woman? Please encourage her to be a part of the Miss Indian World pageant! 

Much more than a competition, throughout the 5-day exciting experience, M.I.W. contestants share a journey of "sisterhood" as they represent their tribes and communities, form lifelong friendships and memories, participate in a full stage production of the Miss Indian World Traditional Talent Presentations and culminating in the crowning of the new Miss Indian World in front of sold out audience on Saturday night, April 29th, 2017. 

As a prestigious cultural ambassador for Native people throughout the World, the new Miss Indian World will then spend her year traveling*, when the opportunities arise, and promoting cultural awareness, diversity and the Gathering of Nations Pow wow globally.
