The fried tacos were very good and the environment was very welcoming here.” -Ava

We loved connecting with families at the annual First Nations Studies Back to School Kickoff on August 27! Ava, an 8th grade student participating in the Middle School Bridging Program, selected her school supplies, networked with First Nations students and community partners, and enjoyed some fry bread.

🌽 7th Annual Barter Market 🌽
Saturday, September 19 | 9AM–1PM
πŸ“ Ukwakhwa

It’s time for one of our favorite community traditions! Come out for Ukwakhwa’s 7th Annual Barter Market, a morning of trading, sharing, eating, and spending time together.

🚫 THIS IS A NO-CASH MARKET!
Bring your treasures and come ready to trade. Handmade items, harvested goods from your garden, homemade canned goods, seeds, foods, crafts, and other useful or special items are welcome.

You do not need to set up a table to participate! Fill a bag, basket, or wagon with things you’d like to barter and walk around the market making trades.

SETTING UP TO BARTER?
🌱 Arrive at 8AM for setup
🌱 Bring your own table, chairs, and canopy
🌱 Bartering begins at 9AM

🌯 9AM: Famous Rez Burritos
Come hungry! Burritos will be available first come, first served.

🀝 9AM–12PM: BARTER MARKET
No cash. Bring something to share and see what you can trade for!

🍽️ 12PM–1PM: COMMUNITY MEAL
We’ll close out the market by eating together. Chef Jenny Garcia will be cooking our lunch, also available first come, first served.

Bartering reminds us that value does not always have to be measured in dollars. There is value in what we grow, what we make, what we preserve, and what we can share with one another.

🧑 Resistance through barter.

Please share and help us spread the word!
