The Fairy & Human Relations Congress has always been focused on nature-spirit communication and collaboration. All Indigenous cultures have traditions of this far back into antiquity.
The Fairy & Human Relations Congress invites Indigenous people to attend the Congress. Free admission is available or people can pay whatever amount they wish. People who give a presentation receive free admission, a gifting, and honorarium.
Over our 25-year history we have had presenters and attendees from a number of Indigenous Peoples.
In 2025 we are making a special effort to reach out to tribes in the Salish Sea region and surrounding areas to invite participation. Indigenous participants can be part of the opening ceremony, circles and rituals. They can contribute their perspectives on communicating with the spirits of land and sea, animals and sea creatures.
We have five Indigenous presenters scheduled for 2025 so far and more may be announced.
* Paul Chiyokten Wagner, Protectors of the Salish Sea, Saanich Nation.
* Lora Pennington, Skagit elder.
* Robin Tekwelus Youngblood, Church of the Earth, Okanogan and Tslagi.
* Susan Powell, Lakota.
* Brenda Salgado. Toltec Mayan.
Their Bios and further information can be found on our website’s presenter page.
