2019 MSU Pow Wow at Western Oregon University
Join us for the 26th Annual MSU Pow Wow at Western Oregon University on April 27, 2019 at the Werner University Center in Monmouth, Oregon. The MSU Pow Wow at Western Oregon University is put on by the Multicultural Student Union. Both students and community members are welcome to attend this and it is completely free and open to all ages. The MSU Pow Wow features beautiful traditional dances by a variety of tribes as well as dance competitions and live music.
The MSU Pow Wow at Western Oregon University is our opportunity to educate not only Western Oregon University, but also the surrounding communities, about a piece of Native American culture and tradition. The Native American Pow-Wow will be held on Saturday from 12 pm to 12 am. Anybody can come and go as they please. The event will be held in the Pacific Room, Werner University Center. The first Grand Entry will take place at 12:00 noon. There will be a free dinner break from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. The second Grand Entry will be at 7:00 p.m. and the event will conclude at 12:00 midnight.
This year’s Pow-Wow will feature a number of drummers, dancers, and vendors from throughout the Pacific Northwest. Dance competitions and other traditional ceremonies will take place throughout the day. There will also be Pow-Wow vendors from the Native American community selling items all throughout the event.
Vendors, dancers, drummers and fry bread help make our annual MSU Pow Wow at Western Oregon University a success. Our Pow-Wow includes a dance competition as well as a dinner. The dance competition is open to tiny tots, teens, men and women. The categories include fancy dancing, traditional dancing, grass dancing and jingle dancing.
