Stewart Father’s Day Powwow
Held each June at the historic Stewart Indian School Cultural Center & Museum in Carson City, the Stewart Father’s Day Powwow brings together dancers, drummers, singers, artists, crafters, alumni, families, and visitors for three days of cultural celebration and community gathering.
Established in 1990, the powwow honors Native traditions, recognizes Stewart Indian School alumni, celebrates fathers, and welcomes the public to experience one of Carson City’s largest annual events.
All are welcome at the Stewart Father’s Day Powwow, a three-day gathering of Native dancers, drummers, singers, artists, food vendors, and Stewart Indian School alumni in Carson City.
The powwow takes place on a campus with a complex and important history. Until 1980, Stewart Indian School operated as Nevada’s only off-reservation American Indian boarding school.
Today, the Stewart Indian School Cultural Center & Museum shares the stories of former students and their families, preserving history while honoring the strength, resilience, and cultural continuity of the communities connected to Stewart.
Throughout the weekend, visitors can watch traditional dance and drum performances, browse arts and crafts vendors, sample food vendor fare, and learn more about the people and traditions represented at the powwow.
Admission is free. For the latest schedule and weekend details, check Visit Carson City’s event page, or get in touch with the Stewart Indian School Cultural Center & Museum by calling (775) 687-7608.
