Join us as we celebrate Indigenous brilliance and explore our shared joys and struggles—all on Native Land.  

The Indigenous People Festival is a time for Native people to celebrate our unique traditions and visions for the future. This year, we acknowledge what is and always will be Coast Salish land and imagine a future guided by Indigenous knowledge and excellence.
