Indigenous people from across Utah come together in a grassroots effort to support Indigenous development within their own community.
The Co-founders of Cultural Fire Events believe that Indigenous people thrive when they are culturally connected. They started hosting powwows and events to create safe places to reinforce a sense of community and belonging for the Indigenous population of Utah and the Southwest. These events help strengthen the identity of Native American youth and families living off of the reservation and away from their communities. Helping Indigenous youth to be strong and rooted in their Native American heritage has not only been shown to help reduce rates of suicide, drug & alcohol addiction, and domestic violence but also contributes to preserving culture & language.
