Stewart Father's Day Powwow
Event Description:
There’s no better way to get to know Nevada’s cultural identity than the beloved Stewart Father’s Day Powwow, held in the heart of Nevada’s Capital City every summer. American Indian dancers, drummers, artists, and crafters from all across the northwestern Nevada region have gathered at the historic Stewart Indian School Cultural Center & Museum every June since 1990 to celebrate their tribal heritage while honoring their ancestors. Throughout three days of festivities, get in on all kinds of dancing, arts and crafts, food, and stories from the hundreds of tribal representatives that are part of Stewart’s alumni. See you there!
