Letter from the Planning Committee
At the 2024 Indigenous People's Summit, esteemed experts will lead panels around pressing topics such as Indigenous Peoples Sacred Sites, Land Back, Indigenous Economic Sovereignty, and Economic Development. Speakers and panelists include tribal leaders and elders, Indigenous entrepreneurs, and representatives of earth-based nonprofits, and will be announced through social media.
This summit will not only provide an opportunity to educate the local community and elevate Indigenous voices but will also serve as a space to build intertribal diplomatic relationships and continue our conversation on trade throughout the Great Plains and among all our relatives throughout Turtle Island.
Our day begins at 8 am with a prayer and breakfast and includes a lunch provided by Chef Anthony Warrior before adjourning at 4 pm.
While this event is free of cost for all tribal members, we humbly request any donated amount to go towards event costs and revitalizing the Maya community healing center in North Omaha.
We would be honored by your attendance!
