Never before have we seen a FULL DAY FULL OF INDIGENOUS BRILLIANCE here in Amah Mutsun Territory! 💫🪶💫

John Trudell is smiling from the spirit world knowing that at his old stomping grounds, the Vets Hall downtown Santa Cruz, (where he would come speak about truth & justice to audiences full of primarily older white peoples & a just a few of us Indigenous people hiding in the back)

On Saturday January 24th,

Indigenous Artists & Activists from the North & the South will come together in Solidarity to be with each other in Unity‼️

Santa Cruz County is a small place where lots of worlds clash and the Indigenous community, the displaced & undocumented ones & the Native Californians, have the worst outcomes of all peoples‼️

We’re reminding the world that
You cannot annihilate Indigenous Peoples who have already survived genocide‼️

WE ARE POWERFUL & WE WILL PROTECT EACH OTHER‼️

Please get your tickets NOW‼️ This is the first event of this kind & this is just the beginning‼️

We’re so humbled to have all these Amazing Indigenous Artists & Leaders come share space with us.
