American Indian History Month Festival

The Tradition Continues...

                        

While this event, its host, nor those associated with it can possibly
be responsible for all the activities occurring at each event, we do
make it our commitment to support the integrity of American Indian
people by only making available information about events being hosted
by individuals from state or federally recognized tribes. This is not only
a matter of courtesy to the general public, but it is a matter of cultural
preservation, truth in advertising, and respect to American Indian people.
We graciously ask that individuals not from state or federally recognized
tribes refrain from request to be listed here. Thank you and please enjoy
these Native events hosted by Native people.
