Wednesdays in June Powwow Dance Practice in Oakland!!
523 International Blvd. Oakland CA

6/3, 6/10, 6/17, 6/24!!

The month of June Drum & Dance Practice is here!

The dinner line-up is looking good this month, and we already know Wednesday nights at IFH are some of the best times to come together. There’s just something about sharing dinner, slowing down for a bit, and being in good company that brings us closer in this crazy urban rez life we all live. IFH is our home away from home, and as always, we look forward to seeing everyone there. We've got a good month ahead of us!

Stop by, bring your family, maybe a side if you’re able, and spend your Wednesday night with the native community.
