The theme of this year’s Pow Wow at Washington University in St. Louis is “Keep Them Sacred: Honoring Generations of Indigenous Women.”

The 29th annual event, a celebration of American Indian cultures, will be held Saturday, April 20, in the Washington University Field House on the Danforth Campus. Hosted by the Kathryn M. Buder Center for American Indian Studies at the Brown School, the event is free and open to the public and features Native American arts and crafts, dance contests, food and more.

“We want to put the focus on missing and murdered indigenous womenthroughout America,” said Kelley McCall, a master’s of social work and public health student and enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation. She is co-chair of this year’s event.
