2026 Events
2026 Makwa Threads Vendor Schedule:
Every year we travel to different cities to be a vendor and bring Makwa Threads apparel to Native community gatherings (Powwows, Indigenous Markets, Round Dances, etc.) We love connecting with community in-person, and have amazing memories from our 2025 run. We’re excited for 2026, and look forward to seeing you!
