Indigenous People’s Day Lineup
Decolonize Your Diet! An Indigenous People’s Day Celebration
As much of the country prepares to celebrate Columbus Day as ‘discovery’ and commemorate conquest as ‘progress’, please join Phat Beets Produce and the North Oakland Farmers’ Market in creating an alternative space to honor over 500 years of cultural, spiritual and political resistance led by the world’s indigenous peoples. The day will be filled with music, art, workshops, and interactive cooking demonstrations exploring culinary colonialism.
