Indigenous Institute of the Americas Celebration

The nonprofit Indigenous Institute of the Americas presents the 17th annual IIAmericas Celebration (IIAC): Honoring Indigenous Cultures, Dance, and Arts, at Chisholm Trail Outdoor Museum in Cleburne, Texas. The IIAC gathering reflects the complex and diverse history, contemporary lives, and resilient adaptations of American Indian and Indigenous cultures today.

American Indian and Indigenous artists, crafters, and Traditional product makers from Indigenous nations across the Americas will be represented. Plan to attend both days. Each day brings its own unique entertainment and enjoyment. This family-oriented event will keep children of all ages entertained.

The beautiful outdoor environment is perfect for the pow-wow dancers demonstrations, crafts, traditional stickball play, and learning activities. Come hungry for frybread, Indian tacos, stew, and traditional festival foods.
