Today, Sunday, is the last day of the annual Stewart Indian School Father’s Day Powwow, which is open to the public and admission is free.
In addition to competition dancing, with Grant Entry beginning at 11 a.m., there are food vendors, jewelry, art, clothing, and much more for sale.
On Saturday prior to Grand Entry, there was also a ribbon cutting ceremony in honor of the Grand Opening of the Stewart Indian School Museum and Cultural Center.
Master of Ceremonies is Hank Johnson of the Northern Paiute and Washoe tribes, Arena Director is Dr. Maritinez of the Chumash tribe, and Host Drum is Sage Point, Stewart Alumni.
All drums are welcome. While some vendors accept debit and credit cards, many (including the Indian Taco stands!) are cash-only, so please come prepared.
Spectators are also encouraged to bring their own chairs as seating is limited.
