We’re talking to Native changemakers and caretakers about where our community has been\, where we are now\, and what’s next.\nThe overarching theme of this year’s gala — We’re Still Here — is rooted in perseverance. It is not only the spirit of trudging onward against the backdrop of a second pandemic year\, but also remaining Indigenous on our lands after centuries of abuse and erasure.\nEach day of our week-long program focuses on a different sub-theme designed to reflect on that larger topic. It’s a thematically chronological series of livestream conversations.\n5/10 – “Where Have We Been?” Monday’s live is an intimate conversation between our board’s Chairwoman\, Abriel Johnny + original fence jumpers from the 1970 Fort Lawton Takeover\, the protest that literally paved the way for UIATF’s existence.\n5/11 – “What Are We Taking With Us?” Tuesday’s live is a panel about Indigenous language survival. Already at risk prior to COVID-19\, it has become an even more perilous as we struggle against a disease most deadly to elders\, who are relied upon for cultural preservation.\n5/12 – “How Are We Healing?” We’d be remiss without a discussion about the incredible work of Native doctors and healers in keeping our people well and coordinating a notoriously swift vaccine roll-out. Speakers will include Dr. Socia Love of Seattle Indian Health Board and Dr. Dakotah Lane\, Health Director of Lummi Nation.\n5/13 – “Where Are We Now?” In line with our broader theme\, we want to ground ourselves in the present through a roundtable with Native elected officials about contemporary Indigenous struggles. Speakers will include longtime former Sen. John McCoy + Rep. Debra Lekanoff.\n5/14 – “Where Are We Going?” Friday’s stream is a conversation between Oscar-nominated filmmaker Ava DuVernay (When They See Us\, 13th) and rising star Jana Schmieding (Rutherford Falls) about retelling narratives often deleted from or distorted in “textbook” history. How we approach the telling of our past has a major impact on our ability to envision a future together\, and we’re turning to two BIPOC women of Hollywood for insight about that process.\n5/15 – The gala will conclude on Saturday with our yearly auction of Native artwork and goods.

Since the first intertribal powwow on these grounds 33 years ago\, organized by our founder Bernie Whitebear\, we have only been forced to cancel once. \nWe have a great number of Elders who attend our powwow\, and who are most vulnerable to COVID-19 – cherished parents\, grandparents\, great grandparents and protectors of our languages\, cultures and stories. With this decision\, we choose to prioritize their health\, and the health of our communities at large. We appreciate your kindness and understanding\, and hope you will return to dance\, sing\, drum and gather with us next year. \nSincerely\, \nMike Tulee (Yakama) – UIATF Executive Director URL:https://unitedindians.org/event/seafair-indian-days-powwow/ LOCATION:Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center\, 5011 Bernie Whitebear Way\, Seattle\, WA\, 98199\, United States ORGANIZER;CN="United Indians of All Tribes Foundation":MAILTO:info@unitedindians.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200514T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200514T140000 DTSTAMP:20260403T162216 CREATED:20210519T223031Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210519T223031Z UID:10000053-1589463000-1589464800@unitedindians.org SUMMARY:Native Life in the City Live Artist Spotlight w/ Cyn Masterson DESCRIPTION:Join United Indians’ Arts Program Manager and Sacred Circle Gallery Curator\, Hank Cooper\, and artist Cynthia Masterson of Blue Dot Beadwork in a live discussion about one of her latest creations\, “Recipe for a Quarantine”. “Recipe for a Quarantine” tells a quarantine story through beadwork and illustrates how Cynthia moves out of her Comanche traditional designs and color palettes to incorporate the collective forced adaptation of understanding how connection is essential among our Urban Native community. Cynthia will also discuss how this piece contributes to a culinary theme in her body of work and how technology has played an important role during this time.\nThroughout the conversation we will be holding a raffle for one of Cynthia’s handmade pieces of jewelry. Those who tune in via Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center and make a donation during the live stream will automatically be entered into the raffle to win the prize. *Donations must be a minimum of $20.00 and must be submitted through our official online giving campaign webpage linked just below.\nhttps://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/uiatfnativelifeinthecity\nWhere Cynthia got her name:\nBorn and raised in Oklahoma\, Cynthia Masterson now lives and beads in Seattle\, Washington. She carries the name of her great-great-great grandmother Cynthia Ann Parker\, mother of Quannah Parker\, one of the last Comanche chiefs. She is an enrolled member of the Comanche tribe and a Titchywy decendant.\nWhen she’s not traveling to Oklahoma to see family and friends you’ll find her walking Sweeps\, the whippet\, with her husband Bret of twenty plus years. She beads anywhere\, showing the 3-drop gourd stitch to everyone she meets.

DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate with us March 8\, 2020 at 10:30 a.m.\, as we honor those who fought tirelessly for the creation of Daybreak Star as a social and cultural home for our local urban Native community. \nIn 1970\, in response to disproportionate rates of poverty and little access to necessary health and social services\, hundreds of Native activists and their allies occupied Fort Lawton\, a recently decommissioned U.S. Army Base. This grueling month long occupation\, met with both outside support as well as military and police violence\, resulted in activists obtaining a lease to nineteen acres of land in what is now known as Discovery Park\, and the eventual creation of Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center. Since our founding in 1970 by beloved leader Bernie Whitebear\, United Indians’ has grown to support ten different programs which serve 1\,000 clients each year and provide a whole host of critical services and cultural activities. \nJoin us as we march down Bernie Whitebear Way in recognition of the powerful work of past and present activists in uplifting our Urban Native community\, and stay for a free community meal. \n  URL:https://unitedindians.org/event/fort-lawton-takeover-celebration-50th-anniversary/ LOCATION:Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center\, 5011 Bernie Whitebear Way\, Seattle\, WA\, 98199\, United States ORGANIZER;CN="United Indians of All Tribes Foundation":MAILTO:info@unitedindians.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200229T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200229T140000 DTSTAMP:20260403T162216 CREATED:20200226T201528Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200226T201528Z UID:10000048-1582974000-1582984800@unitedindians.org SUMMARY:Census Family Fun Day!
