Overview
The Intertribal Friendship House is the iconic hub for East Bay Native American peoples, serving as a nucleus for a broad suite of social services to the intertribal community. Its arts and cultural programming encompasses a broad array of practices, from instruction in drum and regalia making to training in traditional song and dance, highlighting the diversity of tribes that define the urban Native experience. Renewed support would enable the organization to focus on planning strategies to increase participation in traditional, cultural, and ceremonial programming; build more public awareness for its work and services; and improve its financial sustainability.
