The 2024 Strawberry Festival, June 29-30, was a great success - our return to a full two days of Indigenous music, food, dance, crafts, storytelling, silent auction and more.  Niawen'ko:wa to everyone who worked together to make it happen, and to all who attended!  Here's a fine writeup and gallery of photos of the festival, by our good friend and master photographer Alex Hamer:

Kanatsiohareke's Fall Festival, Nov. 2022Thanks to everyone for all your great support during our 2022 Kanatsiohareke Fall Festival - whether in person at our benefit concert, joining online in our vendor market and auction, or contributing to the very generous donations we received. We raised over $9000 to help get Kanatsiohareke ready to hold on-site events and classes at the community again after our long shut-down.

​

Special thanks to Caffe Lena in Saratoga for hosting us on Nov 13 and for donating all the ticketing, stage crew, food service and logistic support we needed.  Great thanks to: Joe Bruchac,  as emcee, musician and story-teller that day; to Jimmy Wolf and his band; to story-tellers Kay Olan and Perry Ground, and to Tom Porter for sharing his wisdom with the traditional Opening and Closing Words.   And many thanks to all our volunteers who made the live show and the online events the great successes they were.
