Hozhoni Days shares Native culture
Its Navajo name means "Days of beauty" -- a description perfectly suited to Hozhoni Days, two weeks of pageantry, powwowing, and celebration of cultures that is Fort Lewis College's longest-running student-led tradition.
Sponsored by the Native American Center and Wanbli Ota, Hozhoni Days dates back to 1966, when the Shalako Indian Club, an early incarnation of today's Wanbli Ota, turned a small on-campus event into a full-blown celebration and renamed the multi-day event "Hozhoni Days."
Today, the Hozhoni Days Pageant and Powwow is the campus' premiere spring event, at which the FLC community comes together to celebrate the cultural diversity that FLC stands for. Learn more by watching the Fortifact on Hozhoni Days online.
