Community Events
For five years, IndigenousAF has sponsored monthly and annual community events in Las Vegas, such as traditional weaving workshops with master basket weaver Loretta Burden, Mexica New Year with Malinalli Productions, and much more. IAF also partners with Nuwu Wonumeegah (Southern Paiute Dancers) and other Indigenous artists, performers, and knowledge keepers. IndigenousAF is thankful to be working with Nevada Arts Council, Nevada Humanities, Meow Wolf Foundation and the San Manuel Gaming and Hospitality Authority, who have helped support IAF programs over the years.
We focus on connecting with our Indigenous roots through a variety of events and social gatherings. Whether you're an Urban Native living away from the reservation or an Indigenous immigrant far from your homelands, everyone is welcome to join our circle when they come with a good heart.
