Join us for the Indigenous Nations Festival!

This event is a revisualization of the Native American Arts and Culture Festival that was coordinated through the Native American Studies Program. The change in name represents the opportunity to embrace and celebrate Indigeneity on Turtle Island (North American continent), as well as the other Indigenous identities of Colgate faculty, staff and students, which are oftentimes invisible. This event is focused on incorporating a dialogic approach to center Indigenous voices, where guests are both immersed in culture, and also have the chance to engage with the stories and experiences of Indigenous people. 

As part of the event, people will also have the opportunity to purchase hand-crafted items, art, and Indigenous foods throughout the day.

To learn more about becoming a vendor, please send an e-mail to indigenousfestival@colgate.edu.
