Join us for our annual Native art market and gift fair this holiday season! Free and open to the public, this event features local vendors and Native makers and artists showcasing goods including wood carvings, bead work, drums, prints, paintings, and more. Grab some fry bread and hot coffee and escape the Seattle winter for two weekends in November and December to find the perfect gifts for family, friends, or yourself!

United Indians was part of a team of Native activists and allies that successfully advocated for the City of Seattle to recognize the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples’ Day in 2014. They commemorate the day annually with a rally and march downtown, followed by speeches, Native cultural performances, and a community dinner at Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center. All are welcome, Native and non-Native alike!

Monday, October 14, is Indigenous Peoples' Day in the City of Seattle and at the Burke Museum! There will be Indigenous performances, including UW groups, and opportunities to engage in conversation about the Burke's collections throughout the day.

With working labs you can see into, one-of-a-kind objects all around you, and galleries filled with curiosity and conversation, it’s a new kind of museum—and a whole new way to experience our world.

Throughout Grand Opening Weekend, the new Burke Yard outdoor space will be transformed into a festival with multicultural music and dance performances, family-friendly activities, and food trucks.

The Association for Washington Archaeology invites you to travel back in time and immerse yourself in the history and culture of the Columbia Plateau's native people during Spokane Archaeology Day on The Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture (MAC) grounds.

 Open to the public, this family-friendly event will allow visitors to experience the methods archaeologists use to learn about the heritage of the Inland Northwest.

Among the activities, visitors will be able to conduct an archaeological survey and a mock excavation; learn how to identify historic artifacts; make tools through flint knapping; and practice zooarchaeology by studying animal bones. You're going to dig it!

Join Cherri Foytlin, Anne White Hat and Mark Tilsen of the L’eau Est La Vie Camp to hear firsthand accounts from years of Indigenous led resistance to pipelines. Come hear from three of the most effective organizers on Turtle Island about ongoing work fighting back against Energy Transfer Partners, community resiliency in the Gulf South and visions and plans for how to fight back. They will be touring with Mutual Aid Media’s film “L’eau Est La Vie From Standing Rock to the Swamp.”

$20 suggested donation at door - all funds go the L’eau Est La Vie Camp and its projects, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

The L’eau Est La Vie Camp is a continuation of our fight in Standing Rock, and furthermore a continuation of the centuries old fight to protect sacred stolen territory. The Camp centers the voices of indigenous, black, femme, and two spirit organizers. The camp fought in the bayous of Louisiana, Chata Houma Chittimacha Atakapa-Ishak territory, to stop constriction of Energy Transfer Partner’s Bayou Bridge Pipeline - the tail end of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The camps sustained resistance campaign delayed the completion of the Pipeline over a year. In addition to costing ETP upwards of a billion dollars, the L’eau Est La Vie Camps galvanized the fight for climate justice in the Gulf South and serves as an amazing example of how effective a small group of committed activists with powerful leadership can be.
