An Evening of Culture, Community & Celebration

Join the Museum of Indigenous People for our annual First Fire Fall Fundraiser this November — a warm and welcoming autumn evening celebrating Indigenous culture, tradition, and community.

Each year, we light the First Fire to take the chill out of the Prescott autumn air. Guests gather inside the MIP’s historic Pueblo Building to enjoy Traditional Dancers and Singers, a beautifully catered five-course dinner, and a Silent Auction featuring Native art, handcrafted gift baskets, and unique cultural pieces.

This fundraiser directly supports the Museum of Indigenous People’s mission:

“To instill understanding and respect for the Indigenous cultures of the Southwest.”

About First Fire

For many Indigenous cultures, First Fire symbolizes renewal, seasonal transition, and the importance of gathering in community. This evening honors that spirit through food, performance, storytelling, and shared connection.
