Join Us in Celebrating Indigenous Arts,
Cultures, and Brilliance
...where every handmade item tells a story
Cultural Survival returns in hosting our eclectic Summer Bazaars featuring Indigenous cultures, arts, and music from around the world. The Cultural Survival Bazaars are annual festivals that support Indigenous arts and livelihoods on a global scale. The Bazaars provide an opportunity for the public to interact with Indigenous artists and experience different worldviews. When purchasing arts and crafts from Indigenous artists and cooperatives, shoppers contribute to supporting millennia-old traditions and the lifeways of Indigenous communities worldwide. Each year, the Bazaars generate nearly $500,000 for Indigenous artists, performers, and projects benefiting Indigenous communities. Join us! Shop Indigenous!
Enjoy this annual event honoring Indigenous talent and traditions through handmade art, demonstrations, music, and dance. Shop jewelry, clothing, accessories, housewares, paintings, sculptures, and more from Indigenous artists and cooperatives from around the world.

During the Cultural Survival Bazaars, Indigenous artists from all over the world come to the Massachusetts/Rhode Island area to vend and share their crafts. Cultural Survival offers a homestay program for artisans who do not reside in the area, know anyone nearby, or cannot afford lodging on their own. Previous homestay hosts have said that opening their doors and volunteering their time has proven to be a beneficial and an enriching experiences.

Cultural Survival advocates for Indigenous Peoples' rights and supports Indigenous communities’ self-determination, cultures and political resilience since 1972. We envision a future that respects and honors Indigenous Peoples' inherent rights and dynamic cultures, deeply and richly interwoven in lands, languages, spiritual traditions, and artistic expression, rooted in self-determination and self-governance.
