UNM’s Kiva Club celebrates Native American Heritage this week with the 54th annual Nizhoni Days. The festivities culminate with the Honoring Our Alumni Pow Wow on Sunday, April 26, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. at Johnson Field.
Sponsored and organized by the Kiva Club since the 1950s, Nizhoni Days demonstrate the wealth of Native American achievements in the arts, activism, politics, academics and culture. Nizhoni is a Diné (Navajo) word meaning “beautiful.”
Throughout the week, the Kiva Club is holding social, cultural and educational events and entertainment with numerous co-sponsors from UNM and the community.
