FAM Indigenous Peoples Day 2026

Indigenous Peoples Day 2026 returns to the First Americans Museum in Oklahoma City for a free, campus-wide celebration of the resilience and vibrancy of Indigenous peoples. This year’s theme, “Sovereignty in Motion,” explores movement through physical activity, intergenerational knowledge, collective care, and self-determination.

Guests can enjoy a full day of live music and performances, traditional Indigenous games, an Indigenous lacrosse exhibition, sports and activities, hands-on experiences, Lightning Talks, a Chalk Mural Contest, and information booths featuring Indigenous organizations and community resources. Local food trucks and 39 Restaurant will also be available.

A highlight of the celebration will be a 1 p.m. Mayoral Proclamation from Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt (Osage Nation) on the Festival Plaza stage.

The event is designed to be welcoming and accessible to all visitors, with a quiet hour, sensory-friendly space, free wheelchair and motorized scooter checkout, and opportunities to request additional accessibility accommodations.
