Support our cultural events, Indigenous artists and ASL interpreters!

What is life without dreams? We all need support in order to thrive and continue to believe in our visions - especially when it comes to arts and music! Materials, resources, and a platform can be challenging for up-and-coming artists to access, to then market, sell, and earn an income.

IndigenousWays' goal for artists and presenters is for them to have doorways via networking, festivals, podcasts and more to pursue their hopes and dreams.

IndigenousWays understands that our beloved underserved communities and families we serve, don't often have the means to take themselves and their loves to music and art events, hence, the importance of our series being FREE to the public. We also provide ASL interpreting services so access is available to all. No one is left behind!

You can support us by donating to our 2024 The Arts Campaign throughout this year. Your donation will support these voices to be heard and seen to keep our cultures alive and our mental health shining, through our programs - the IndigenousWays Festivals and the IndigenousWays Wisdom Circle.

Help us continue to grow and provide FREE cultural arts and resources to our communities.
