Monday, October 12 Honoring Native Nations Powwow on the Santa Fe Plaza

Santa Fe Indigenous Center's 4th Annual Honoring Native Nations Powwow on the Santa Fe Plaza. Enjoy powwow dancing, vendor booths, and a parade of Nations. Food trucks will be open throughout the day!

Schedule TBD

Check out the Santa Fe Indigenous Center's Powwow Etiquette Video, created by Little Globe! This video was designed to educate the public about respect when attending Powwows, especially if it's their first time. The public is welcome, however, please be respectful.

In 2016, the Governing Body of the City of Santa Fe passed an historic resolution to establish the second Monday of October annually as Indigenous Peoples' Day. Santa Fe is deeply proud to embrace its rich cultural diversity and the prolific and profound contributions that its first peoples brought and continue to bring to the City.
