History of the event

Since 2009, Clark College has celebrated Indigenous cultures during the first weekend of November (Native American Heritage Month) with a POWWOW that includes music, dance, food, vendors, honoring of veterans, and the announcement of the Dreamcatcher Scholarship honoring our vision of Educating for the Seventh Generation.

Dreamcatcher Scholarship

The Dreamcatcher Scholarship scholarship is designed to help current and future Clark College students that identify as Native American Indian, Alaska Native, Hawaiian Native or indigenous to the Americans. The Dreamcatcher scholarship will be awarded from the fund in the name of Becky Archibald and Anna Schmasow for their endless commitment to advocating Education for the Seventh Generation. To be considered for the dreamcatcher scholarship, an applicant must be: 

• Currently enrolled or will be enrolled at Clark College for at least five credits.
• A student of Native American, Indian, Alaska Native, Hawaiian Native, or indigenous background. 

We would like to invite you to apply for the DREAMCATCHER SCHOLARSHIP.
