OVERVIEW

The NUIFC is proud to present a new ongoing series on our Black and Native urban relatives making an impact in their communities living in the city. Our Black Native relatives are sacred, which is why we launched this new series “Celebrating Our Afro-Indigenous Relatives.” In connection with this series, we are excited to do a community giveaway in celebration of our Black Native relatives! 

We will be giving away prizes from our Afro-Indigenous community. To enter the giveaway, make sure you are subscribed to the NUIFC newsletter.

We do this in celebration and gratitude of all our beloved Afro-Indigenous relatives and we thank Paige Pettibon, Dr. Kyle Mays, Amber Starks, and Ulali Nightgun for sharing their gifts and time with us.
