Fall Gathering

As part of American Indian Heritage Month, each November, AIHREA hosts a powwow with a special emphasis on our research results. This unique event incorporates a community research forum as well as a contest powwow with host drums and singing. The event is free and open to the public. We will share our findings for various research projects while celebrating American Indian culture and heritage.
