Santa Fe Indigenous Center
Celebrating Indigenous culture, community, and resilience in Santa Fe
The Santa Fe Indigenous Center (SFIC) is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to serving the Native Community within Santa Fe County. Founded and designed by Indigenous Peoples with the mission of supporting, promoting, and enriching our vital, diverse community by identifying and serving the needs and interests of our people.
Throughout the year, the center provides essential services such as biweekly food drives, cultural events, community programs, and emergency financial assistance. The Santa Fe Indigenous Center also serves as a resource hub for those seeking additional support beyond our direct services. In addition, SFIC occasionally partners with other local nonprofit organizations to encourage community engagement, foster a sense of togetherness and expand our outreach.
The Santa Fe Indigenous Center recently completed one of the largest cultural events we organize each year — our Annual Honoring Native Nations Powwow on the Santa Fe Plaza. Held every October on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, this event celebrates and uplifts Indigenous joy, diversity, and cultural resiliency. Dancers, drummers, royalty, Tribal Dignitaries, Indigenous artists, and guests from across Turtle Island come together to share community, culture, and tradition this special day.
We are grateful for all of those who joined us and helped to make this year’s powwow another meaningful and joyous success. We are already looking forward to our next Annual Honoring Native Nations Powwow in 2026!

The Santa Fe Community Foundation invited its nonprofit partners to submit stories related to our November topic of Native American Heritage.
Black Men Flower Project
Black Men Flower Project uses flowers as a tool for connection, affirmation, and community-building. In a society that has unnecessarily gendered expressions of care and beauty, even something as natural as flowers can feel off-limits to men. By placing flowers directly into the hands of Black men, the nonprofit challenges those assumptions and create new social permissions for vulnerability, gratitude, and brotherhood.
