The Marin American Indian Alliance (MAIA) is planning their 2^nd Annual Marin Powwow.

It will be held March 17^th, 2024. Our 1st Annual was a big success with 1000 attendees despite the rain. The new location will be at Terra Linda High School Main Gym, a much larger facility!

The event is free and open to the public. Alcohol and drug free environment.

Rain or shine, inside of the gym. Free Admission.

All are welcome to the 2nd Annual Marin Powwow as we join in celebration of the Indigenous communities that live and work in Marin on Coast Miwok land.  Since 1968 the Marin American Indian Alliance has been a place where Indigenous people get together to share traditions, songs, dances and prayer so we are excited to have this opportunity to bring the community together in this good way.  Native people are people of ceremony. Between all the various Nations represented in the Bay Area there is a wide variety of traditions about welcoming the springtime, but we can all agree that getting together to sing and dance after the challenges of winter is an important and welcome celebration.
