About
Since 1991, the Washington University in St. Louis Pow Wow has celebrated and honored American Indian/Alaska Native traditions and culture.
The annual event is coordinated by students and scholars of The Kathryn M. Buder Center for American Indian Studies at the Brown School at Washington University. The Buder Center develops programs and curriculum, engages in research, builds relationships and partnerships with communities and people, and develops the ability of its students and alumni to make positive change in Indian Country.
Pow Wows bring Native Americans and non-Native people together to dance, socialize, sing and celebrate. As a student run event, the student committee is responsible for coordinating all aspects of the Pow Wow, from engaging with dancers and drummers from across Indian Country, to raising the funds necessary to host this educational and cultural event.
Please join us virtually in celebrating the 30th anniversary of Washington University’s Pow Wow by making a gift today, and help us reach our goal of $2,500 by March 27!
