Intertribal Dance Gathering at Presidio (SF)

Saturday, May 4, 2024 - 11:00 am to 4:00 pm | Cost: FREE
Presidio Transit Center | 215 Lincoln Blvd, San Francisco, CA

Event Details

The Native American Health Center welcomes indigenous communities and the greater public back to the Presidio for a day of healing dances, screen printing, arts and crafts marketplace, health screenings and more. See dances from the Costanoan Rumsen Tribe (Ohlone), Point Arena Pomo, Cahuilla Bird Singers and Paiute Hand Games (Team Lent).  

Dance in many Indigenous communities is a prayer, an offering, a balancing of our physical, mental, spiritual and emotional selves which in turn heals and strengthens our communities. 

Bring your own picnic or enjoy delicious food celebrating the Bay Area’s diverse cuisines from Presidio Pop Up’s food and beverage vendors. 

Limited seating is available. Bring your own blanket or folding chair. 

RSVP for free! 

Intertribal Dance Gathering: Dancing is Our Medicine is organized by the Native American Health Center with support from the Partnership for the Presidio. 

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
