About Dancing in the Square Powwow
“Dancing in the Square” – The Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB) American Indian Day celebration was held in 2006 for the first time to signify the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (IHCIA), which at the time was making its way through Congress. The [general public] lacks the awareness about the health status and issues that Indian people face. To educate the general public about our Indian health issues, NPAIHB started holding a “powwow,” a traditional way to communicate our culture and Indian Health education. We provide the public with information on many cultural issues that influence the delivery of health care. We ask other Portland Area Tribal organization such as the Native American Rehabilitation Association- (NARA), Native American Youth Association – (NAYA), and the Native Indian Child Welfare Association – (NICWA) to collaborate with our event. All of the Indian organizations contribute in various ways, through providing speakers, resource materials, or event awareness, and equipment, as needed.

Mark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Dancing in the Square Powwow in September at Pioneer Square in downtown Portland, Oregon.
