Weaving Communities and Making Connections Pow Wow

Memories and teachings carry us through every space we enter. All experiences are unique strands that guide our journey, ultimately bringing us together. This year’s Pow Wow theme is “Weaving Communities and Making Connections.” In partnership with the Urban Indian Center of Salt Lake and Salt Lake Community College, our vision for this event is inspired by the ties and interconnection we share across the valley. With this year’s Pow Wow taking place at the John M. Huntsman Center Arena, we invite each of you to rejoice and celebrate the connections that embrace us all.
The University of Utah Pow Wow is an opportunity for tribal members throughout the Intermountain West to meet and honor the cultural and religious practices of their communities. Pow Wow is planned in partnership with Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion; the American Indian Resource Center; the University of Utah’s Inter-Tribal Student Association; the Urban Indian Center of Salt Lake; and Salt Lake Community College.
