The 51st annual Dartmouth College Powwow was held on May 13, and the popular event organized by students with Native Americans at Dartmouth drew hundreds of spectators to the Green.
And, the following day, Hokupa`a, Dartmouth’s Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders student group, celebrated with Lūʽau on Baker-Berry Lawn. The theme this year was “Aloha ‘Āina,” the physical manifestation of “our love for our land.”
