Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day. We are deeply grateful for the support, the shared laughter, the conversations, and the opportunity to gather together as community.

The sound of the drums, the songs, the stories, and the familiar faces that filled our space are reminders of why this work matters. These moments of connection, culture, and community honor our ancestors while strengthening the relationships that carry us forward.

Indigenous Peoples' Day is more than a celebration. It is a reflection of our resilience, our living cultures, and the generations of people who continue to keep our traditions, languages, and teachings strong.

Thank you to our performers: George Killsinthebrush, Haandei i Jin and Tlalokan! To our volunteers who work so hard and for the amazing food from yours truly, Chef Nikki!

Thank you again for standing with us, celebrating with us, and helping create a day filled with joy, pride, and belonging!

We are still here. We have always been here. And we look forward to gathering with you again next year, but every day is a proud day to be Indigenous! 🙌

Today, we honor to remember the children who were taken from their families, communities, and cultures through the residential and boarding school systems. We honor the Survivors, their families, and the generations who continue to carry stories of strength, resilience, and healing.

Orange Shirt Day is a time for reflection, education, and healing. It is also a time to honor the resilience, strength, and cultural knowledge that continue to thrive despite generations of attempts to erase Indigenous identities and traditions.

At United Indians of All Tribes Foundation, we stand alongside Indigenous communities in preserving our languages, cultures, and teachings while ensuring future generations grow up connected to who they are and where they come from.

Today, and every day, we affirm that every child matters. 🧡

Today, we deeply honor the life and legacy of Bernie Whitebear, whose vision, courage, and unwavering advocacy transformed Native life in Seattle. Through his leadership in the Fort Lawton movement and the creation of Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center, Bernie helped secure a lasting home for Indigenous culture, community, and self-determination. His impact continues to inspire generations of Native leaders, advocates, and community members. Reminding us of the power of unity, resilience, and Indigenous leadership. Happy Birthday, Bernie Whitebear. Your legacy lives on.

The Native Veterans Program (NVP) at UIATF hosts the Native Veterans Sweat Lodge on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month at the Labateyah Youth Home (9010 13th Ave NW, Seattle, WA 98117). Glen Pinkham (Yakama) leads our co-ed sweats, and he invites all veterans and their family members to the Lodge.

The NVP worked with Glen and his son, Dallas Pinkham, to produce a short documentary on the healing impacts of the Sweat Lodge for veterans. We are so excited to share this film, and we want to thank Glen, Dallas, and all of the participants for helping to create the documentary!👏
