Tribal communities,

and the broader Utah community

can come together at UVU. For Native students, events like the Powwow help create a sense of culture, community, and belonging on campus. For the broader community, the Powwow provides an opportunity to experience Native cultures firsthand through singing, dancing, regalia, food, vendors, and community.

Just as importantly,

the Powwow helps strengthen UVU’s relationships with Native communities. It allows UVU to be more than a place where Native students attend college. It creates a space where Native cultures, communities, families, and students are welcomed and visible as part of the university community.
