IIAC 2025

The 18th IIAmericas Celebration is an annual event sponsored by the intertribal nonprofit Indigenous Institute of Americas. The IIAC event supports our mission to provide relevant and accurate experiences that educate and demystify the many cultures reflecting the original peoples of the Americas. Our activities and philosophy are welcoming to both Native and Non-Native patrons. We see this event as an opportunity to engage the public with our love for the environment, music, dance, food, laughter, and relationships. We welcome volunteers, sponsors, and community members to contact us for involvement!

About IIA

Indigenous cultures have survived through thousands of years of storytelling traditions, passing on our knowledge from person to person, community to community. IIA recognizes that by the nature of our geographical distances, Native peoples have the challenge of preserving the accuracy of our stories through our storytelling, not from narratives from outside our culture. IIA has tried to welcome the use of technology to document and share books, magazines, videos, social media, and, of course, the Internet.

Today, IIA works within diverse Indigenous communities to preserve cultural knowledge, educate the public, and encourage participation in Indigenous traditions through programming various events and initiatives throughout the year.
