PERFECT HOLE IN ONE. Sophomore Stella Hunter enjoyed this trip in many ways from being surrounded by Indigenous culture to enjoying the beautiful weather of Albuquerque at Arroyo del Oak Golf Course. When describing what experiencing a powwow is like Hunter commented: “It's probably like any other, theater event. You have your spectators, and then you have like the main act, which is the dancing. Just be respectful, don't judge, because this is something that's very important to us. If you ever want to go to a powwow, you totally should. It doesn't matter if you're Native or not.” (Photo submitted by Stella Hunter)
