We invite you to join us for the 2026 David Douglas Intertribal Powwow! This special event is a collaboration born from the heart of our community, proudly hosted by David Douglas High School’s Indigenous Student Union (ISU) and our Native American Parent Advisory Committee (NAPAC). We can’t wait to share this beautiful experience with you.

A Pow Wow is a Native American tradition that brings together many different tribes and communities. Pow Wows are cultural celebrations that include dancing, singing, socializing, crafts, arts, and food.

This event is open to everyone.
