UC Santa Cruz Pow Wow 2025

AIRC is part of the Ethnic Resource Center at UCSC. We provide a wide range of services, including academic advising, counseling, advocacy, and promoting racial and ethnic diversity among UCSC students. Our mission is to create a supportive community that celebrates Native culture and enhances Native visibility, not just at UCSC, but on a global scale. We are committed to preserving and sharing traditional knowledge and making it a resource for all.

This year, we are excited to host one of our signature events to further enhance Native visibility: a Pow Wow at the Kaiser Permanente Arena on Sunday, May 18th, 2025.

The event will open its doors at 10:30 AM, with the program starting at 11:00 AM and running until 6:00 PM.

This celebration of cultures across the Americas is open to all UCSC students, staff, faculty, and the larger Santa Cruz community—including you!
