2012 STEWART FATHER'S DAY POWWOW  
JUNE 15TH – 17TH, 2012   Carson City, Nevada

We're planning another great Father's Day Powwow at Stewart Indian School in Carson City, Nevada! This annual powwow draws a number of quality American Indian arts and crafts vendors, and is also a time for alumni, former employees and their families and friends to gather at the former campus. Additionally, this fundraising event is part of an effort to establish the Stewart Indian Cultural Center. The event helps preserve the legacy and history of the Stewart Indian School from its inception to closure with displays of memorabilia, arts and crafts and items relative to the history of the school's past.
