Columbus Day commemorates the explorer’s arrival in the New World. Indigenous Peoples Day reminds us of the Native People who greeted him. Representatives from IPD Philly and the Native American House Alliance join us on the Corner to discuss the erasure of these people’s history and culture. It’s a “pow wow” you don’t want to miss.

Native American House Alliance (NAHA) is an urban non-profit that will promote the general welfare of Native Americans in the Philadelphia area. There is a growing need for social services among the Native American community in the Philadelphia area. There are over 6,000 Native Americans living in Greater Philadelphia, many with no ties to their culture or tribes. We will strive to preserve and protect Native American history, and culture, as well as conserve and protect Native American sites and places.

Since 2017, we produce an annual cultural festival and awareness campaign for “Indigenous Peoples Day” and since 2019 we celebrate this Native-American social justice movement at Shackamoxon (or known as Penn Treaty Park).

In addition throughout the year, our organization and community network shares relevant resources and informative news articles focused on Indigenous issues through our online platforms. We are at the forefront of conversations regarding Indigenous sovereignty, immigration, and environmental justice. We also have cultivated a substantial presence in Philadelphia and have been successful in connecting with Indigenous people living in other regions throughout the Americas and worldwide.
