About [Edit]
The drum beat is strong and steady. Dancers in colorful regalia move slowly across the dance floor. Women grasp the edges of their shawls, spreading them wide to display stunning designs. Men adorned with eagle feathers step in rhythm, their feathers swaying with each movement. The smell of fried bread fills the air.
At a pow wow, the senses are always engaged.
Each year the UW holds two pow wows celebrating Native American cultures. The more informal event is in January; the larger Spring Pow Wow in April is a huge affair, attracting thousands to Hec Edmundson Pavilion. The events are hosted by First Nations@UW, a student group.
