Indiginerds descend on Oklahoma City
It’s the time of year when Native nerds, cosplayers, comic geeks, and gamers assemble for the first and biggest convention devoted to them.
IndigiPopX is back at the First Americans Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for the second year, featuring panel discussions, vendors, musicians, a glowstick ball match, and a whole day devoted to the TV series Reservation Dogs. Amid the festival fun is the message that Native Americans enjoy Mandalorians just like everybody else.
Join Native America Calling to hear what’s new from the IPX organizers.
