The Grand Entry for the 53rd Annual Dartmouth Powwow, as Native American and First Nation peoples from across the continent process to drums into the Green in brilliant regalia, begins at noon on Saturday, May 10, 2025.
"One unchanging part of the Dartmouth Powwow is my favorite, and it makes the year-long planning process more than worth it," says 2025 Dartmouth Powwow Co-chair Sydney Hoose '25, a member of the Pawnee, Cherokee, and Chickasaw nations. "This is when I see fellow Native Americans at Dartmouth enjoy the Powwow and feel the strength and love of our community as we come together."
2025 Dartmouth Powwow Co-chair Brooke Moore '26, a Mashpee Wampanoag, adds, "this event is so important and foundational to Dartmouth and its history not only as an institution but for our Indigenous student community. Our biggest goal for Powwow was to foster an inclusive and intertribal Powwow not only for Dartmouth community members but for the entire Upper Valley."
