During the Red Dress Pow Wow this year we are coming together to honor Challistia Colelay. She was 16 years old and a member of the Apache White Mountain Tribe whose life was taken too soon.

We stand with her family and community in grief, remembrance, and love.

All proceeds from the Blanket Dance will go to her family and raising awareness to help bring justice to her case. If you are able, please consider supporting them during this time with cash donations. Pesa Mu.

We would like to invite everyone to the 5th Annual Red Dress Powwow on March 28, 2026 in Reno, NV. This Indigenous-led event is designed to educate the public on the issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples. It also helps the spirit of Indigenous communities who are advocating for their relatives who have been taken or are missing. We also bring attention to the extractive industries that bring violence to the lands and waterways.

Doors Open at 5pm
Grand Entry is at 6pm
The powwow will wrap up around 11pm.

Vendors are full, we are no longer accepting applications. Pesa mu!
