"For the fourth year in a row, the University of Pittsburgh and the Council of Three Rivers American Indian Center will partner to bring the Indigenous Cultural Festival to the Pittsburgh campus in September. ICF offers family-friendly educational activities that celebrate the historic and ongoing contributions of Native Americans in Pennsylvania and across the U.S. A mini-powwow on Sept. 25 will lead into COTRAIC’s 46th annual powwow, to be held at the organization’s grounds in Dorseyville, Indiana Township. Pitt will provide free tickets to attend that event. All are welcome!
A powwow is a sacred social gathering held by indigenous peoples in the United States and Canada. They are usually open to the public and include dancing and singing."
A staff member from the Global Experiences Office will be present at the powwow to discuss the Lakota Perspectives on Environmental Sustainability & Human Rights Summer 2026 program!
