The SJC Ms. Indigenous Pageant dates back to 2008 and is a vibrant celebration of culture, traditions and ancestral heritage of Native American students and their communities. This cherished event offers contestants a powerful platform to honor displays of traditional artistry, time-honored skills and dynamic contemporary talents.
