The Native American Student Association at Lane Community College is hosting the annual Lane Powwow on Saturday, April 1, 2023.

Attendees will have the opportunity to witness and participate, immersing themselves in the rich traditions and culture of Native American peoples. Showcasing Native American drum groups and dancers from across Oregon as they perform various dance styles.

“Everybody is welcome to come and see how we carry our ancestors' traditions and witness how beautiful Native American cultures really are,” said Jordan Davis-Jackson of the Quileute Nation.“ Not only is this a great opportunity to honor Native American cultures, this is also a great opportunity for Tribal Nations near and far to come and visit the Lane campus.”

Davis-Jackson will carry the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Peoples flag, and a traditional fire pit cook from her Quileute Nation will prepare salmon for dinner.

The event is free and open to everyone to attend and will also feature an assortment of craft and art vendors for attendees to explore.

The Powwow will take place from 11a.m. to 10p.m. in the LCC gymnasium, located on the main campus at 4000 E 30th Ave, in Eugene.
