Join us for a fun-filled outdoor event packed with activities for all ages—art, music, food, family games, and community connection—as we raise vital funds to support yəhaw̓ Indigenous Creatives Collective’s ongoing work. This event centers around the principles of rematriation and reciprocity—values at the core of our mission to nurture land, culture, and community through art and collective stewardship.
As one visitor, Alanna Peterson, shared, “Everything about yəhaw̓ is a study in reciprocity, and I am beyond grateful to the collective for stewarding this beautiful creation.” Their words remind us of the deep importance of giving, receiving, and mutually supporting each other and the land we all share. And you can help us with that mission by joining us at our annual fundraiser event!
