Biographical / Historical
The CSUSM Anuual Powwwow began with a series of American Indian story-tellings held at the campus library on San Diego State University (SDSU) North County, the satellite campus of SDSU which evolved into California State University San Marcos. It was grown by Dr. David Whitehorse (Lakota) and Tribal Liaison Bonnie Biggs, and developed in concert with local tribes. The American Indian Student Alliance (AISA) became the main organizer of the event in 1999. At its height, the Annual Powwow brought in 10,000 visitors. It was free and open to the general public.
