Powwow for the Planet to raise awareness of sacred national monuments in Nevada
April 9, 2025
The Powwow for the Planet will be held on Saturday and Sunday at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The event will highlight the cultural and spiritual significance of national monuments on tribal lands, such as Avi Kwa Ame and Gold Butte. The powwow will feature traditional dances, a new drumming contest, and public intertribals. Organizers also want to raise awareness of sacred sites that tribal nations are proposing as monuments, such as Bahsahwahbee and East Las Vegas.
We provide the independent reporting that non-Native, extractive outlets often overlook. We give our communities the context and the facts they need to make informed decisions.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government decision-making for everyone who cares about transparency about Native issues. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise. Every gift helps keep the fire burning. A monthly contribution makes the biggest impact.
