Each year, hundreds of people gather to celebrate Native American heritages, pass on indigenous traditions, build communities, and learn about Native American cultural diversity. This year is special, as we bring the annual Honolulu Intertribal Powwow to the historic campus of Bishop Museum, located on the island of Oʻahu, in the ahupuaʻa of Kapālama and in the ʻili ʻāina of Kaiwiʻula.
