 Festival is an annual four-day ceremony and celebration that began in Taos, 
 New Mexico with sister celebrations now occurring throughout the world. 
 This year, The Mending News is honored to extend the Regeneration Festival 
 to OAKLAND CA, with Lake Merritt as the centering point. \n\nThe 
 Regeneration Festival began as a proactive response to Taos' incredibly 
 high suicide, homicide and overdose rates among youth. It has since become 
 a worldwide, non-commercial and drug-free festival to honor all young 
 people as brilliant, beautiful, cherished beings on Earth. Through the 
 festival and other means, we hope to build a world that inspires and 
 embraces our children anew each day. \n\nRegeneration Festival is not just 
 a celebration, it is also a ceremony. The four days are designed to honor 
 the four sacred directions so that we may cultivate beauty all around us. 
 The festival is modeled after the medicine wheel of the Lakota Indigenous 
 Society. While all traditions are respected and honored throughout the 
 event, the Lakota medicine wheel was chosen for a festival framework 
 because within it is contained the prophecy that one day all the races of 
 the earth will unite, black, red, yellow, and white to make the world whole 
 and healthy again. \n\nFestival organizers understand that whether we are 
 Euro-American, Indigenous, Asianic, African Descent, Chicana, or Mixed 
 heritage, we all have children and they are going to have to live under one 
 sky. The mission of Regeneration Festival is a human endeavor and will only 
 be done together. \n\n“If you've come here to help me, you're wasting 
 your time. But if you've come because your liberation is bound up with 
 mine, then let us work together.” -Lilla Watson\n
