A piece of Tulsa’s Native history returns October 3
This year’s Indigenous Roots Benefit Dinner will include something especially meaningful: the debut of a new exhibit exploring the history of the Tulsa Indian Youth Center and Tulsa Indian Youth Council of the 1970s.
For a generation of Native young people in Tulsa, the Youth Center was more than a building. It was a place to gather, build community, develop leadership and create a sense of belonging during an important period in Tulsa’s urban Native history.
That story also connects directly to what is happening today.
Community members are once again coming together to ask what Tulsa’s urban Native community needs, and what it could look like to create a dedicated Native community space for future generations.
At the Indigenous Roots Benefit Dinner on Saturday, October 3, guests will be among the first to see this new exhibit, learn more about the history behind it and hear about the work happening now.
