Chancellor Drake Welcomes Community to UC Irvine's
Annual Powwow (6.01.2009)

Chancellor Michael Drake welcomed more than 2,000 community
members to the Eighth Annual Powwow May 30 at the Mesa Court
Field. The two-day event was co-sponsored by UCI’s American
Indian Resource Program and the American Indian Student Association.
Powwows are traditional gatherings to celebrate, honor and respect
Native culture. Performances included dancers from Alaska, Arizona,
California, New Mexico, South Dakota, Washington and Mexico,
and drum groups from throughout California.
This year’s theme was “Strengthening the Health
of our Future Generations,” and UC Irvine Medical Center
participated by promoting diabetes prevention with the use of
its full-service Mobile Medicine unit.
