No, no, no.

Seriously, how much do we need to make this happen?

Perhaps, it's time to give the Seafair Powwow a bit more independence as an event to raise funds and engage participants.

Perhaps, the Seafair Powwow could take lessons learned from other local communities like Seattle Pride and Seattle Pride Festival, which are separate entities, both from each other and other community nonprofits, and are uniquely funded and managed events, yet they have formed sustainable connections within the community that make it possible for both events to be held together in a strong spirit of cooperation while maintaining a unique identity, funding, logistics and organizational structures.

What do you think about giving the powwow a greater measure of independence to find its own interdependence?
