The Native American Health Center welcomes indigenous communities and the greater public back to the Presidio for a day of dance, music, screen printing, an arts and crafts marketplace, health screenings, and more. Dance in many indigenous communities is a prayer, an offering, a balancing of our physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional selves which in turn heals and strengthens our communities. 

Bring your own picnic or enjoy delicious food celebrating the Bay Area’s diverse cuisines from Presidio Pop Up’s food and beverage vendors. 

Intertribal Dance Gathering: Dancing is Our Medicine is organized by the Native American Health Center with support from the Presidio Trust.
