36th ANNUAL POWWOW

This event is FREE and open to the public

The powwow brings together students, families, and communities to celebrate American Indian singing, drumming, dancing, and arts and crafts.

Powwows are social gatherings - open to all people - celebrating American Indian tribes' traditions, styles of dance, songs, families, and friendships. Dancers and drummers come to the college's powwow from tribes throughout the Northwest and United States.

Students and employees of Edmonds College participate in a variety of environmental, service-learning, and cultural activities throughout the year in support of local tribes and tribal members. 

All information for how to get involved in our offerings will be hosted on this page. Please check back regularly for updates!

For questions and more information please contact powwow@edmonds.edu.
