Upcoming Events
LA NDN Relief + Recoup
Join us Sunday, January 19, from 4 - 7 pm for the LA NDN Relief + Recoup. The Chapter House is teaming up once again with the fierce and fab Jana Schmieding to bring you an evening of NDN tacos, relaxing artmaking activities, and some Native comedy from LA’s funniest (childcare and kid activities provided for the comedy hour)! Let’s use this event to gather, hug each other, and resource our community for the fire recovery long-haul. We’ll hear from UAII (United American Indian Involvement) on their relief efforts and how to support them and/or access aid. Also, we’re inviting the many visiting tribal fire crews who have so generously traveled here to protect us and our city.
Natives and our allies in Hollywood have found fun and unique ways to raise cash and provide mutual aid for BIPOC families affected by the fires in Altadena as well as Domestic Workers and second responders across LA. We’ll be sharing that information on Sunday as well, so bring your raffle monies and get ready to put cash in that blanket.
If you’re in need of community and some Native R + R after these challenging times, come on out!
This event is FREE and open to the public. It will be indoors with air purifiers. TCH’s outdoors space remains closed and we strongly encourage all to mask while outside. Extra N95 masks on hand! To attend please register HERE. No one will be turned away, but this helps us get a more accurate headcount!
Lastly, we’re asking for your help in 2 ways:
1- UAII is in need of specific items for their emergency shelter and community distribution, including:
* Bottled water
* Diapers
* Wipes
* Energy drinks
* Handwarmers
* Chapstick
* Protein drinks
* Adult underwear
* Toilet paper
* Air purifiers (DIY or commerically made)
* Brand new baby clothes
(THEY NEED THE LAST TWO ESPECIALLY!)
Please bring these with you as UAII will be there/we can deliver on your behalf.
2- Help us get the word out to the out-of-towner Native first responders. We want to provide them with food + community too! If you’re in contact with these groups or part of one of them, please share this info/contact us. We will work with their schedules and can bring food to them or have them by another time.
Keep an eye out for more upcoming events and ways that you can continue to help those affected by the LA fires in the short and long term.
Be safe k’é, please reach out with any questions, and see you soon. 🫶🏽

I Dreamt I Was Home Again Opening
I Dreamt I Was Home Again, The Chapter House’s second exhibition at their Echo Park location, opens Saturday, January 18, 2025 from 5 - 9 PM. In addition to the opening of the new works on view by seth cardinal dodginghorse (Cree/Blackfeet), Mikayla Martin (Blackfeet/Squamish/Comanche), and Alexandria Ybarra (Tongva/Xicana), the opening features a “Dirt Dance” by seth cardinal dodginghorse and a poetry reading by Mikayla Martin. The reception also features catering by Chef Pyet (Potowami), who is renowned for her innovative fusion of Native American and Mexican cuisines that emphasize ancestral ingredients and cultural storytelling.
The opening begins at 5 pm sharp, *reserve your spot below*.
I Dreamt I Was Home Again centers on themes of nostalgia and belonging, explored through the lens of three emerging artists: seth cardinal dodginghorse, Mikayla Martin, and Alexandria Ybarra. Exhibition runs January 18 - March 29, 2025 at The Chapter House’s gallery at 1770 Glendale Blvd. Gallery hours are Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12 - 3 PM, or by appointment. Please email info@thechapterhouse.org to schedule.
PERFORMERS
seth cardinal dodginghorse
seth cardinal dodginghorse (they/them) (Cree/Blackfeet), a multidisciplinary artist, Prairie Chicken Dancer, experimental musician, and cultural researcher, draws from personal experiences of displacement. Their family’s forced removal from their ancestral lands on the Tsuut’ina Nation in 2014 has become a central theme in their work. Through art and music, dodginghorse channels the tension between memory, identity, and resilience. dodginghorse is also a member of the artist collective tīná gúyáńí (Deer Road), longlisted for the 2022 Sobey Art Award.
Mikayla Martin (Itsooaakii)
Mikayla Martin (Itsooaakii) (Blackfeet/Squamish/Comanche) explores identity, mental health, and cultural reclamation through acrylic self-portraits on canvas. Her work highlights the complexities of engaging in traditional Blackfeet cultural practices in a contemporary world. Martin’s art is a powerful assertion of autonomy, challenging intergenerational trauma and celebrating the resilience and unique gifts of Blackfeet women, girls, and Two-Spirit individuals. “Blackfeet women continue to hold pivotal roles in our community,” Martin shares, “We deserve spaces where our voices are centered and our beauty is celebrated.”
