In 2023 we returned to The Redd East Event Space to celebrate this nexus of commerce and culture. We celebrated expressions of Native Excellence told through food, fashion, and music. This year we featured the culinary artistry of Chef Jack Strong (Siletz) supported by Vibrant Table Catering, the musical excellence of Snotty Nose Rez Kids, fashion designers NEO, MOBILIZE, and Trenal Original. Directed by the wonderful Palani Bearghost, owner and founder of NEO.
