The event will last from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. with a grand entry at 1:00 and a closing ceremony at 5:00.
An infographic reading: Gathering of the Waters Powwow will feature a health fair, artist workshops, food trucks, and education resources. The organizers want the event to be as inclusive as possible, so it’s free of charge and open to all to inspire indigenous communities and allies to “come together in celebration and learning.”
An infographic reading: With sponsorship support from Pablo Foundation and others, Supporting Indigenous Peoples MERG hopes the health- and healing-focused powwow will reduce barriers to access “by providing education about health topics of importance to Indigenous communities in a safe, welcoming, and culturally appropriate manner.”
