UTA student leads 29th annual powwow to celebrate Indigenous culture
Stephen Silva-Brave, president of the Native American Student Association at the University of Texas at Arlington, is organizing the 29th annual UTA Powwow on March 1, a celebration of Native culture filled with traditional dance, music, and games. This year, Silva-Brave expects 1,500 attendees from various tribal backgrounds. Despite challenges from Texas legislation affecting cultural events, he emphasizes the powwow’s role in showcasing Native resilience and community. The event is free and open to all, with participants encouraged to come as they are or wear traditional regalia.
