About Two Feathers Rainbow Extravaganza
The Rainbow Extravaganza is a Pride celebration in McKinleyville hosted by Two Feathers Native American Family Services, centering Native and Two-Spirit community members.
Two Feathers Native American Family Services was established in 1998 as a consortium of several tribes to provide direct social services. Today its mission is to help Native American youth and their families in Humboldt County reach their full potential through culturally affirming mental health and wellness programs, and it centers the teachings and cultural practices of local Native people in its work.
A team of more than 30 professionals provides counseling, cultural programs, leadership development, youth employment support, mentorship and community events, and clinicians meet youth in community settings. The organization names differences in gender and sexual orientation among the identities at the heart of its commitment to equity and justice. It was named nonprofit of the year in the McKinleyville Chamber's 2026 Member's Choice awards, and it hosts an annual Native Youth School and Community Wellness Conference.
