South Seattle Folks may have heard of Indigenize Productions, which organizes the Indigiqueer dance parties that pop up around Seattle month to month. It has hosted Seattle’s only regular spaces intended for queer Indigenous folks, like last month’s Seattle Aquarium After Dark: Pride Edition, or its Sweatlodge burlesque party. But most don’t know that Indigenize productions has been a six-year endeavor helmed by Howie Echo-Hawk, a local performer, artist, and event organizer.
