BAAITS, a volunteer-based organization, established the first and largest public two-spirit powwow in the world.
This year s events take place February 2-6, culminating with the Grand Entry on the last day from noon to 4 p.m. Pacific Time.
A powwow is a traditional Native American event that gathers all tribes, as well as invites non-Native guests to learn more about Native cultures. Last year, the event welcomed more than 5,000 people at Fort Mason Center in San Francisco. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, BAAITS will hold the powwow online this year, according to a news release. It will include daily panels and workshops.
