2025 Sovereign Days Parade 💃🕺

08/08/2025

The Hoopa Valley Tribe is celebrating its 37th Annual Sovereign Day this weekend. Today’s events included the Chairman’s Address by Joe Davis, the presentation of event Grand Marshals Jack Kohler and Julia Farnum, followed by the Miss Na:tini-xwe competition and traditional dress show.

Phyre Sanchez was crowned Miss Na:tini-xwe after an impressive public speaking and talent competition, in which she explained how to prepare acorns in Hupa language with English translation before singing an acorn gathering song. Emerald Bibancos-Knight presented her regalia-making skills explaining how she gathered and processed the materials used to make her dress and necklaces.

During the stage events, hundreds of attendees perused dozens of vendor and food booths, kids played in the bounce houses and on the inflatable water slide, and traditional card players sang and competed for the championship title.

A fireworks show will begin at 10 pm tonight, visible from downtown Hoopa and the stick field area.

The HVHA parade will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday morning, traveling east along Highway 96 from Hoopa High School to Hostler Field Housing.

Traditional Stick Games will be held on Sunday from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. with lunch to follow at the Hoopa Fire Department.

Additional events are listed in the full schedule below.

Happy Sovereign Days weekend, Hoopa!

Due to the power outage yesterday and the tsunami warning last night, this weeks TRT edition is running behind schedule. The printing press is right on the coastline so they were unable to print as they were on evacuation warning. They are back at work this morning and plan on printing our paper however it will be a day late. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate all of our loyal TRT readers! The paper should be on shelves tomorrow barring any further difficulties 🙌
