Modesto Junior College Tradition is Our Medicine; Knowledge is Our Fire Intertribal Powwow 2026

The Modesto Junior College Tradition is Our Medicine; Knowledge is Our Fire Intertribal Powwow 2026 is a social gathering that brings together Native American communities from various tribes within California and throughout Turtle Island (USA) to celebrate and honor their cultural heritage here on the Yokut and Me-Wuk peoples' land.

This event serves as a platform for dancing, singing, feasting, and the exchange of arts, crafts, and traditions, fostering unity and cultural pride among participants.

In addition, this powwow will provide an opportunity to uphold and share tribal customs, languages, and values, ensuring their preservation for future generations. While rooted in indigenous traditions, MJC's powwow is open to the public, inviting non-Native attendees to experience and appreciate the rich cultural expressions of Native American peoples.
