Stanford Powwow

Stanford is on the land of the Muwekma Ohlone tribe. This weekend, the Stanford American Indian Organization and Powwow Planning Committee will host the 48th annual Stanford Powwow in Eucalyptus Grove! Open to the public, Powwow includes an art market, songs, dance and drum competitions, and more. Come to this celebration of Native American cultures to respect and support the people on whose land we reside.
