There are many exciting events planned around the community during this special time of renewal and coming together.  Fall has many special meanings in our varied Indian traditions.  For so many Native people, Fall is a time to come together, to reap the harvest, to celebrate and remember.  Please join BAAITS in our upcoming events- check out our calendar by clicking the link to the left of this window.
