Presenters, artists and ASL interpreters at the IndigenousWays Virtual Events - Wisdom Circle and Concert Series

Since the crisis of the pandemic and the impacts around the world, we asked ourselves, are we up to the challenge?

IndigenousWays has contributed to our communities via Zoom online virtual programs including; Concert Series, Wisdom Circle, Healing Festival, and the Festival series, to stay connected through the arts while supporting the artists.

Our artists bring creative gifts with sacred intentions to the arts through songs and stories, our neighbors and friends give love and food, and finally, our American Sign Language interpreters bring communication access to our Deaf and Hard of Hearing community members.

The IndigenousWays Virtual Events are unique as we have created with the community, an intimate hybrid and online ceremony where audiences soak up the artist's and/or presenter's gifts and then have the opportunity to

We ask for your donation to sustain our IndigenousWays Virtual Events to support Indigenous / 2SLGBTQAI+ artists, musicians, healers, cultural bearers, presenters and ASL interpreters who make events available through online concerts, festivals, and wisdom circles in the comfort of our homes.
