Chicago American Indian Community Collaborative

Free Day at the Gichigamiin Museum on Wednesday, June 17th! 🎨

Bring your people, visit the vendors, support the dancers, and spend a summer night with Native Chicago on the lakefront!

Powwow at the Lake is back for our third year.

There is something special about gathering by the water, and we are excited to bring Native singing, dancing, vendors, family, and community back to the lakefront.

Join the American Indian Center on Thursday, June 11, at Foster Beach for a summer evening with Native Chicago.

Grand Entry begins at 6 p.m., so plan to arrive early, visit the vendors, and find a place to sit. This is an outdoor event, so please bring your own chairs or blankets.

This event is free and open to everyone. You do not have to be Native to attend. Relatives, neighbors, friends, families, and respectful guests are all welcome.

We will have intertribal dances, spot dances, audience participation, Native vendors, and a closing Round Dance.

Dancers are invited to preregister. We are offering a $40 honorarium to the first 40 dancers who preregister and check in. More details are available in the sign-up form:
