During WRC 2026, participants will be invited to visit the Museum of Anthropology (MOA) at the University of British Columbia. MOA has been at the forefront of bringing Indigenous art into the mainstream by collecting and curating traditional and contemporary Indigenous art in a way that respects the artists and the cultures from which this work comes. MOA’s exhibitions and programs emphasize artistic diversity and the links between art, community and the contemporary social and political context in which youth, artists and communities are communicating their cultural traditions.

As we close out the 2025 NASPA Western Regional Conference, the team simply wants to say thank you.

Thank you for showing up in Palm Springs — with your questions, your stories, your honesty, and your care for this work. Your energy and engagement made WRC 2025 a space where our community could reconnect, reflect, and renew our purpose together.

This conference has always been about more than sessions or schedules. It’s about people. And this year reminded us — once again — why this community matters so deeply.

As we wrap this chapter, WRC is already looking ahead. Planning is underway for WRC 2026 in Vancouver, British Columbia, in partnership with the University of British Columbia — and we’re honored to officially pass the torch to the 2026 leadership team: Conference Chair Samantha Reid and Co-Chair Rick Treviño.

If you’ve ever thought about helping shape this experience — contributing to a conference that is inclusive, inspiring, and rooted in our shared values — we hope you’ll consider joining the planning team.

To everyone who invested in themselves and in our collective growth by attending WRC 2025: thank you. Your presence truly made the difference.

We’re signing off with full hearts, deep gratitude, and a lot of pride in what we built together.

Cheers, happiest holidays to you and your loved ones — and see you in Vancouver. 💙
— Your 2025 WRC Conference Committee
