The Hale’s dishes are served with frybread, which has the consistency of funnel cake, but is thicker and softer.

“I remember telling my mom that it was hot in the kitchen while we were cooking,” Hale said. The Pow Wow used to take place in the summer, and temperatures would rise over 100 degrees in Temecula. As a child, Hale said the Pechanga’s Pow Wow stood out in her memory because of how hot it was. Her mother, Lucy Hale, managed the food stand for over six decades until her death in 2016 and worked at several of Pechanga’s Pow Wow events serving food. Guests are encouraged to bring low-back chairs and blankets if they prefer or sit in the bleacher-style seating area.Īndrew Masiel Sr., president of the Pechanga Development Corporation, said in a recent phone interview that he was proud to bring the Pow Wow back to the region.
