Intertribal Gathering and Elders Dinner

33rd ANNUAL NORTHWEST INTERTRIBAL GATHERING & ELDERS DINNER: For the past three decades the Northern California Indian Development Council, Inc. (NCIDC) has sponsored the Northwest Intertribal Gathering and Elders Dinner. This is the 33rd year of this annual gathering and we want to invite you to take part in this regional community wide event. The Gathering is a community event that provides us all with an opportunity to honor all Elders and Veterans. Elders are served a free turkey dinner with traditionally cooked local salmon beginning at Noon followed by an Elders’ Gifting Ceremony at 3:00 pm. The dinner, which includes roast turkey and open-pit baked salmon, is provided at no cost to all Elders over 55, regardless of ethnicity, with a nominal charge to other age groups. Throughout the day there will be American Indian arts and crafts available for sale, native singers, a drum group and dance demonstrations, which include: Brush, Tolowa Honoring, Aztec, Shake Head, Hoop and Pow Wow dancers. Last year over 4,500 people attended the Gathering and over 2,000 dinners were served. The gates open at 10:00 a.m. Admission to the grounds and dances is free!
