With the pandemic still impacting large events, we will not be hosting our annual December Bazaars at the Prudential Center or Cambridge. Instead we are bringing the Indigenous art festivities and shopping online to keep you, our loyal customers, and family, connected to our special vendors.

It has been a full year since I joined Cultural Survival and just five months into my journey, the COVID-19 pandemic hit and affected our lives in more ways than one. 2020 has caused unprecedented health, political and economic crises across the globe and this pandemic has deeply affected many Indigenous communities, causing an immediate threat to our well-being and survival. Cultural Survival, without missing a beat pivoted to supporting our partner communities and their responses to the virus.
