This is a drug and alcohol-free event.

In 1971, newly inaugurated President John Kemeny pledged to address the historical lack of opportunities for Native Americans in higher education. Due to his efforts, Dartmouth College has one of the strongest and most diverse Native American communities among the academic community.

It was during the Kemeny Administration that NAD held it's first Pow-Wow. The Pow-Wow has since grown in both size and scope. What was once a small gathering at Storr's pond, and later at the Bema, is now an event that attracts upwards of 1,500 people from all over the country.
