Event Date
Join us in celebrating the 49th annual UC Davis Powwow!
Powwow, as practiced today, is a social gathering intended to provide the campus and local community a space to learn about, engage with, and celebrate the traditions and cultures of Indigenous peoples, and bring visibility to the vibrancy of Native American music, dance, and arts. Held in 1969, the first UC Davis Powwow was hosted in conjunction with the creation of the Native American Studies Department and has since been the culminating event for the Native American Culture Days events and programs. The UC Davis Powwow is student-run and student-planned, standing as one of the longest running student powwows in California.
Stop by the museum, open 12-5, to see the exhibition, Olé Ham Nees, We Call Him Coyote: Harry Fonseca Works from the Shingle Springs Band Collection, and works from the museum collections will be on display in the Collections Galleries. The museum shop offers a variety of Native American products from artists across North America.
