Contents Greetings from CSUDH President 1 Program 2 The Pow Wow President’s Welcome On behalf of the faculty, staff, and students of California State University, Dominguez Hills, it is my pleasure to welcome the Native American community to campus for the Fourth Annual Pow Wow, Honoring the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas. The importance of pow wows cannot be overstated; they build bridges of understanding between Native Americans and non-natives and serve as the social glue for mobile tribes to remain connected. CSU Dominguez Hills sits on Native American land and prides itself on fostering diversity, inclusivity, and cross-cultural learning opportunities.

Dr. Willie J. Hagan President Victor Chavez and John Dawson (Image courtesy of Roxanne Haynes)
