Pangea—Cultivate Our Cultures is made possible by the generous donations and the involvement of HCSCC’s collaborators (Cultural Diversity Resources, New American Consortium, and Lutheran Social Services of North Dakota), sponsors, and community partners. All of these organizations and individuals work to make Pangea an accessible and inclusive event. As such, admission is free; and audio description, human guides, alternative print formats, and ASL interpretation will be available upon request.
