Hear about how we celebrate Balloon Fiesta Week and Indigenous Peoples’ Day, some of the most highly anticipated events at IPCC.

Mary Rosetta (Santo Domingo Pueblo) will be bringing in some of her jewelry pieces to discuss. Learn about the materials she uses, her jewelry making process, and the meanings behind her pieces.
