NAISA x CMA proudly presents the Annual Pow Wow at Duke University on Saturday, April 18, 2026.
Grand Entry will begin at 12:00 PM and continue through 5:00 PM at Penn Pavilion, 107 Union Drive, Durham, NC 27710.
Our Pow Wow is a celebration of Indigenous traditions, culture, and community. This gathering brings together dancers, drummers, families, and community members to honor Native heritage through song, movement, and shared experience.
We recognize that Duke University stands on the ancestral lands of Indigenous peoples, including the Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation and other Native communities who have stewarded this land for generations. We honor their continued presence and contributions.
This event is free and open to all. We welcome campus and community members to join us in learning about Powwow traditions and supporting Indigenous communities.
Free parking will be available for attendees. Dancers will receive a gift card on a first‑come, first‑served basis.
We look forward to gathering in celebration, connection, and respect.
