Calendar

The NABA-DC Board is pleased to invite the greater D.C. area Native community and Indian Country advocates to join us for a potluck community dinner and discussion this Thursday, August 31 at 6:30 pm at the Friends Meeting of Washington Assembly Room.

In the wake of the Charlottesville violence and emboldened white nationalism, many are asking what they can do to make an impact against the hate. By bringing our community together, we’d like to hear your ideas on how we collectively move forward and how NABA-DC can support those efforts. We’ll also be discussing response actions the NABA-DC board is currently taking.

Most importantly, we want to hear from you about what you think the next steps should be, as a community going forward, both short term and long term.

Please bring your appetite, questions, ideas, and energy. Side dishes and desserts to share are welcome but not required! The Friends Meeting of Washington is located at 2111 Florida Ave NW, Washington, D.C.

We look forward to seeing you there!

NABA-DC has reserved a group visit to the imagiNATIONS Activity Center from 1:30pm to 2pm. Facilitators will be teaching the older kids string games, and younger kids can play in the area. Kids wanting to participate in string games will need a ticket. Tickets are limited, so please let us know ASAP if you no longer plan to use your ticket.

NMAI is also holding an event entitled “Winter Blast: A Family Weekend of Native Games” in the main area of the museum from 10am until 5:30pm. After our group visit to the imagiNATIONS Activity Center, we can check this event out, too.

Last, NMAI’s new exhibit entitled “Americans” is set to open on January 18th. The exhibit highlights the ways in which American Indians have been part of the nation’s identity since before the country began.

We hope you can make it! If you RSVP using the link in this message, we will reach out to you closer to the event date with additional information.
