Celebrating sobriety for New Year’s

Fabian Fontenelle danced in the arena for the men’s traditional dance at the 2025 Sobriety Pow Wow New Year’s Eve celebration in Gallup on Dec. 31. The pow wow, held at Miyamura High School, honors those choosing sobriety and the strength it takes to keep moving forward. Through drumming, dancing, and shared meals, the event celebrates culture as a source of healing, connection, and pride. Photo Credit: Jenny Pond
