Calendar

In celebration of the Association on American Indian Affairs’ 100th anniversary (1922-2022), the Association is honored to announce the first annual Tribal Museums Day to be held on Saturday, December 3, 2022. We are engaging Tribal Museums and Cultural Centers across Indian Country to share our collective wisdom, values and diverse cultures!
The Association’s vision is to create a world where diverse Native cultures and values are lived, protected and respected. Tribal Museums Day will bring attention to our diverse Nations and cultures, stimulate tourism, and grow Tribal economies. Tribal Museums Day will also support the vision and mission of each Tribal Museum by re-educating the public that our Nations are the primary experts of Indigenous histories, knowledge, cultures, lifeways and values.

This Hanukkah, sing and dance along with a cappella and Jewish music sensations the Maccabeats! Originally formed as a Yeshiva University student vocal group, the Maccabeats are phenomenal performers with a massive fan base, over 20 million views on YouTube, numerous TV appearances, and four successful albums, including their bestselling “A Maccabeats Hanukkah.” With little more than their unadulterated voices, a little Jewish humor, and a philosophy of integrating traditional and secular sounds, they entertain and inspire audiences of all backgrounds and ages with an eclectic repertoire of Jewish and Israeli songs, pop hits, and signature mash-ups, like breakout Hanukkah parody, “Candlelight.” Their all-ages Hanukkah shows will have the whole family rocking out!

Join us in this long awaited celebration of our first community led research through the Our Words Build Power Campaign. The our words build power campaign is a community-centered research process around the structural and individual impacts on QTBIPOC health and wellness during the COVID-19 pandemic. Analyzed through a reproductive justice lens, and focused specifically on documenting our communities’ narratives of resistance and resilience in order to inform ongoing local and statewide advocacy and community organizing campaigns.

It’s been a time coming but this research is finally ready to be shared! We have partnered with local artists to compile the research gathered into a zine.

Come grab a copy, learn more about the Campaign, where it’s headed next, and how you can get involved.

We’ll be having catering from ChuMinh Tofu and Antojitos Lita Rosita.

Save the date for the annual holiday party for our United Indians of All Tribes families!

We could not be more excited to welcome you to the Oregon Convention Center, where we will celebrate the accomplishments of the NAMC Family and the broader community! For more information or to purchase tickets for the 2022 NAMC-Oregon Holiday Celebration, Email: events@namc-oregon.org
