The 51st annual ��鶹 College Powwow was held on May 13, and the popular event organized by students with Native Americans at ��鶹 drew hundreds of spectators to the Green.

And, the following day, Hokupa`a, ��鶹’s Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders student group, celebrated with Lūʽau on Baker-Berry Lawn. The theme this year was “Aloha ‘Āina,” the physical manifestation of “our love for our land.”
