Quinnipiac hosts Intertribal Powwow for the first time
HAMDEN, Conn. (WTNH) — The traditional Native American experience was honored at Quinnipiac during their Intertribal Powwow Sunday afternoon. This was the first time the university hosted the Powwow, highlighting the importance of indigenous representation on their campus. 'I can always remember my parents and my grandpa bringing me down to Powwow every year, so having that here is so huge to me because Quinnipiac didn't have a lot of representation for Native culture,' President of the university's Indigenous Student Union Aiyana Baker said. 'This was like a huge dream of ours, and especially for me, to make it happen before I graduated from the university.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
