CNCV at 50th Annual Davis Powwow

On April 4th, the CNCV was honored to participate in the UC Davis Inaugural Big Time and 50th Annual Davis Powwow.

Tribes, dancers, musicians, nonprofits, vendors, artists, and the greater Indigenous community all came together to celebrate kinship, community, culture, and fellowship. The music and dancing were powerfully moving while the joy of being together in community was palpable. One of my favorite things I saw over and over again this day: so many people, especially youth, actively helping each other with setting up, carrying items, moving through spaces carefully, finding places, and uplifting each other with encouraging words and spirit.

We were excited to meet with many Cherokee citizens and invite them to our events and organization. We hope to see everyone again soon.
