Native Artist Vendor Non-profit and businesses

Hello, this is Annette Anderson from the Indigenous Institute of the Americas. I am helping to coordinate the White Settlement Historical Museum&#39;s first-ever celebration of Native American culture. Please complete this free reservation form for the nonprofit organizations and artist vendors to let us know you are attending. Our space may be limited to about 20 vendors, so if we have more, we will reach out to you to see what we can do.*PLEASE let us know at least 48 hours before the event if you cannot attend, so another vendor can be allowed to come. &nbsp; If you have any dancers with regalia in your group (Ages 2 to adult), and they are willing to dance, hahaha, you will be given priority if space starts to become limited. Our goal is to have demonstration dancing between 10 AM and 12 PM. Bring your families so we can have some fun, the more the merrier.&nbsp; Event Date and time: &nbsp;Saturday, November 15, 2025, from 9 AM to 12 PM. ADDRESS: &nbsp;8320 Hanon Dr., White Settlement, TX 76108 (North of I-30 and East of 820)The setup for vendors will begin at 7:30 AM, and take-down starts at 12 PM. &nbsp;Please wait until the event closes to pack up. We want to be sure the public moves their cars so you can get up to your vendor space to pack up for home. Vendors will need to provide their own tables, chairs, and, if you want to use a canopy, please limit them to easy setup or take-down types. 10 x 10 size.&nbsp; For IIA&#39;s part, our goal is to help the Fort Worth Indian Education Program and other youth-oriented Native orgs to raise funds for their children&#39;s programming. Our focus is on American Indian and Indigenous representation for the nonprofits, and we may have room for Native Owned businesses. The Museum reached out to us to help with planning, so we feel they have good intentions, and we want to support them. We also want to give our artists, hopefully, a little money in sales before the holiday season. IF you are a flute player, stickball player, hand talker, hand drum singer, bead demonstrator, storyteller, or other talent found unique to our culture, and you wouldn&#39;t mind demonstrating or engaging the public regarding your talent, let us know as soon as possible so we can let you show your talent. &nbsp;This includes children and adults. IIA will have at least two education booths and our Neh Sha market. The education booths will be the Acorn/Oak people and the Sunflower people, maybe the Three Sisters. If you have any tribal stories related to these booths, we would love your support if you could share them.
