The UCSC Powwow 2026 is a social gathering that brings together Native American communities from various tribes across California and Turtle Island. This event celebrates and honors Native cultural heritage on Uypi and Amah Mutsun lands.

In honor of Sophia Garcia-Robles, this event celebrates Indigenous culture through dance, song, art, and community—uplifting traditions that continue to sustain and connect us across generations.

This powwow creates a space of fellowship, respect, and empowerment, strengthening the connection between UCSC and the broader Native/Indigenous communities of Santa Cruz and the Monterey Bay.Kaiser Permanente Arena • 140 Front St • Santa Cruz
