Every April, Albuquerque hosts the world’s largest Native American powwow, where thousands of dancers from more than 500 tribes gather to perform traditional dances and celebrate their culture.

Photographer Roberto Rosales attended the Grand Entry of Dancers at EXPO New Mexico on Friday as well as an event where Black Eagle Singers from the Jemez Pueblo welcomed a Māori delegation visiting from New Zealand.
