Legendary Muscogee (Creek) Nation poet Joy Harjo is headlining the festival with a performance that includes spoken word and music. Harjo is a renowned performer and writer who served three terms as the 23rd Poet Laureate of the United States.
Grammy-award-winning guitarist and engineer Larry Mitchell will warm up the crowd with his skillful guitar performance. Additionally, singer-songwriter Black Belt Eagle Scout (Swinomish/Inupiaq) and American Idol contestant Charyl Lowry (Lumbee/Tuscarora) will perform familiar songs.
The festival is family-friendly and will feature artist workshops, food trucks, Indigenous drumming, face painting, and hands-on puppetry experience with Wise Fool Puppets.
IndigneousWays promotes living in balance for diverse communities through music, arts, outreach and events. Their vision is to reach Indigenous and LGBTQIA2S+ communities that were nearly erased by colonization and show support for young, Indigenous people who identify as part of those communities.
The event will run from 5 pm to 9 pm at the Santa Fe Railyard Park and will also be live-streamed on Zoom.

Can we take a minute to talk about tribal sovereignty?
Our mission draws from the warrior spirit that has sustained Indigenous peoples for generations — the same spirit that drives us to stand guard over tribal rights through relentless investigation and fearless reporting.
Sovereignty isn't just a concept – it's the foundation of Native nations' right to govern, protect our lands, and preserve our cultures. Every story we publish strengthens tribal sovereignty.
Unlike mainstream media, we center Indigenous voices and report directly from Native communities. When we cover land rights, water protection, or tribal governance, we're not just sharing news – we're documenting our living history and defending our future.
Our journalism is powered by readers, not shareholders. If you believe in the importance of Native-led media in protecting tribal sovereignty, consider supporting our work today.
