Who we are
Indigenous Circle of Flagstaff is an intertribal group of Indigenous people and supporters in Flagstaff. We have been meeting since October 2015, to help move the City toward a real and meaningful Indigenous People's Day declaration. We are volunteers and we include, youth, adults, and elders from diverse sectors of the community. We welcome anyone who want to help.

Our Initiatives
Protections of San Francisco Peaks
In December 0f 2020, Arizona Snowbowl resort announced an ambitious new Master Development Plan that would transform Snowbowl into a four-season resort, greatly expanding its disrespectful and
harmful footprint on this holy ground.
There is clear evidence that Snowbowl
and the U.S. Forest Service have been
out of compliance with existing permits and regulations.
​Runoff tainted with the remnants of
artificial snow made from treated
wastewater, has already flowed beyond Snowbowl’s permit area. Damage to plant and soil communities is being studied.
ICF is working to build a coalition among the 14 Indigenous nations who revere the Sacred Peaks, to slow down, scale back, and if possible stop the new expansion plan. There can be no new agreement until damage from the previous one is fully studied and remedied.
Indigenous Community Culture Center
For two years ICF has been working with multiple partners to build a community-based proposal, including a possible site and building leased from the City of Flagstaff. For this year our plan includes hiring initial staff, building startup funding, and developing an array of community-informed programming.
