About the powwow
Each year, the Council of Indian Students proudly host a campus- and community-wide powwow to celebrate their unique history, traditions and culture. This is an opportunity for everyone to come together and experience the beauty of Anishinaabe heritage.
Established in 1972, the powwow is one of the longest-running campus events and an important tradition that brings Native American dancers and drummers, students, alumni, faculty, staff and community members together to celebrate the American Indian people who first called the land on which Bemidji State sits home.
