Idaho State University Powwow
April 3-4, 2026 | Idaho State University | Reed Gym
The ISU Powwow is a cultural gathering bringing together the community, Native and non-native, to connect through song and dance. For its second year back, the ISU Powwow is hosting dance contests for a variety of ages and dance styles with cash prizes. We invite all members of the campus and local community to join us in celebrating generations of tradition with art, food, and more!
We look forward to sharing this important day of learning and community with all of our students, faculty, staff, and community members. In the meantime, if you have questions, contact Echo Marshall, Interim Native American Student Services Coordinator, Echomarshall@isu.edu (208) 604-7764.
ISU Land Acknowledgment Statement
Acknowledging Native lands is an important way to honor and respect Indigenous peoples and their traditional territories. The land on which Idaho State University’s Pocatello campus sits is within the original Fort Hall Reservation boundaries and is the traditional and ancestral home of the Shoshone and Bannock peoples. We acknowledge the Fort Hall Shoshone and Bannock peoples, their elders past and present, their future generations, and all Indigenous peoples, including those upon whose land the University is located. We offer gratitude for the land itself and the original caretakers of it.
As a public research university, it is our ongoing commitment and responsibility to teach accurate histories of the regional Indigenous people and of our institutional relationship with them. It is our commitment to the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes and to ISU’s citizens that we will collaborate on future educational discourse and activities in our communities.
