Nez Perce Wallowa Homeland Longhouse
Community Potluck
Each spring, Native gatherers return to the Wallowa Valley to dig roots and reconnect with their ancestral Homeland, and we gather as a community to welcome them. Please join us for a shared meal — a time to connect, visit, and be part of the Wallowa Gathering. Everyone is welcome.
We'll provide burgers and drinks. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share. Tents will be set up, so we'll gather rain or shine.
