California State University Long Beach, 30th Annual Pow Wow, March 11th and 12th, 2000

The American Indian Studies Department, American Indian Student Council, Native American Alumni and Friends Chapter, the Division of Student Services, 49er Shops Inc., and Associated Students Inc., are proud to present… California State University of Long Beach, 30th Annual Pow Wow on March 11th and 12th, 2000.

The CSULB Pow Wow is the largest spring pow wow in Southern California. It is not a fundraiser or benefit pow wow. The pow wow’s primary goal is to show the strong Indian presence at CSULB. CSU Long Beach has the unique distinction of being located at Puvungna, the site of a Tongva village. Puvungna has been said to mean both the “Gathering Place” as well as the “Place From Which All Stems.”

We are privileged to have a fine head staff as well as the many fine dancers, singers, and their families attending this year’s celebration. This dance celebration will take place in the upper quad, on the campus of CSU Long Beach. The campus is easily accessible from the 405 freeway, the 605 freeway and Seventh Street. Street address, 1250 Bellflower Blvd., Long Beach, California, 90840-1004.

In addition to contest and inter-tribal dancing, there will be Gourd dancing. As always, American Indian vendors will be selling both traditional and contemporary American Indian Art. Foods such as corn soup, Navajo Tacos, fry bread, and buffalo burgers will be available for purchase.

This event is free. Parking is readily available at no charge, and the campus is handicapped accessible. All dancers and drums are invited and the public is welcomed. We strongly recommend spectators to bring folding chairs. For more information please contact the CSULB American Indian Student Council (562) 985-4963. CSULB 2000 Executive Pow-wow Committee/American Indian Student Council address, 2714 E. 4th St., Suite #72, Long Beach, CA 90814
