Thank You from BAAITS

Thank you for making the 12th Annual BAAITS Two-Spirit Powwow a huge success! With nearly 4,000 in-person attendees (and 3,000 more on YouTube), 200+ dancers at grand entry, 4 drums, 60 vendors, 4 food vendors, and 6 information tables from community-based organizations, we were overjoyed to see everyone come together again for another transformative powwow week. And we're working on more events throughout the year, so stay tuned for some exciting announcements to come!
