New Beginnings Pow Wow
11th Annual New Beginnings Pow Wow & Blanket Wrapping Ceremony
Pow Wows are the Native American people's way of meeting together, to join in dancing, singing, visiting, and making new friendships. This is a time when dance and music honor the resilient cultural history of Native American peoples and traditions.
The DU Pow Wow has become a campus-wide event with support from the Native Student Alliance and the Office of the Provost.
The University of Denver 10th Annual New Beginnings Pow Wow will be at the Hamilton Gym this year. We want to celebrate our Native American graduates for their great accomplishments.
The University of Denver’s Native Student Alliance will be hosting the 11th Annual New Beginnings Pow Wow this year, May 14h, 2022! As you may or may not be aware, in Native American communities, a Pow Wow is a social gathering, a time when dance and music honor the resilient cultural history of traditional Native American people and culture. The Pow Wow at DU has always been about education by allowing the student body to participate and learn about Native American traditions and people.
Most importantly, this Pow Wow was founded to celebrate and start all our “New Beginnings”: starting college, a new job, graduating from high school, middle school college, etc. Even new friendships or a new stage of fatherhood, motherhood, engagement, marriage, whatever your New Beginning story is. This Pow Wow has emphasized the importance of those New Beginnings; wherever we are in our lives, we are here to be grateful and to celebrate the coming of life. Please join us in celebrating and healing with our community. More information about the day of the pow wow will be provided soon.
