An Anishinaabe Reflection on Reciprocity

We’ve stopped listening. We’ve turned away. Caught up in our puffed-up ideas of human superiority while our older than human relatives, our most valuable teachers, crave our attention.

We can return to our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the world, return to ourselves, if we return to our original instructions: to listen, to pay attention.

Inspiring Future Generations

Future generations are at the heart of our community. Through artistic and cultural education, we integrate traditional practices with contemporary techniques, creating a learning experience that honors the past while embracing the future. Our programs ignite passion and creativity in young minds, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to carry their heritage forward.

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.
