Presidential Inaugural Pow Wow & American Indian Inaugural Ball
Native Youth Alliance held its first Presidential Inaugural Pow Wow in 1997 to celebrate our Nation-to-Nation relationship with the US Government and to exercise our Sovereignty.
At our first planning meeting on August 2, it was decided that the Presidential Inaugural Pow Wow for January 2013 will be expanded to a four-day gathering to include a Youth & Elders Conference and an American Indian Inaugural Ball. These events will take place in Washington, DC, on January 17th-20th, with the Presidential Inaugural Pow Wow on the 19th and the American Indian Inaugural Ball on the 20th, following the inauguration of the President that afternoon. At this time, we are putting out a call for nominations for entertainers, Head Staff, etc. If you’d like to participate, please send us a promo in time for the meeting.
Our next meeting to plan these events will be held in Washington, DC, during Veterans Day weekend. All are welcome to attend; please RSVP for time and location. Please bring your ideas and proposals to the meeting or send them to us via email at 2013@NativeYouthAlliance.org.
In preparation for our Inaugural events for 2013, Native Youth Alliance will hold a series of Youth & Elders Conferences in 2012 throughout Indian Country. Check our website at www.NativeYouthAlliance.org for updates.
