During the time of year when Fairbanks experiences its longest days that are not marked with much darkness, also known as the midnight sun, there is a celebration that observes that natural phenomenon that also underscores the importance of unity. The festival, the Midnight Sun Intertribal Powwow, is scheduled every July. It involves Alaska Natives, American Indians, and First Nations People of Canada gathering for a powwow that celebrates their similarities and diversities. The powwow also honors the elders and children in a special way that is designed to draw attention to the heritage and contributions of the various indigenous people of North America.
