The pageant, hosted by the American Indian Student Association, is a tradition that honors a distinguished and respected position within the Native American community both near and far. Contestants are judged based on an essay submission, an interview with the panel of judges, a cultural presentation, a platform presentation, a showcase of traditional talent, and an onstage question-and-answer response.
