Many Nations One Land, the day-long festival devoted to Native American culture, is going big in its second year in Oakland.
“Many Nations One Land,” the day-long festival devoted to Native American culture, is back for its second year, and it’s brought a ton of stuff with it. For music, the free event has booked Oakland’s The Bobby Young Project and Native American hip-hop artists C-Log, Stewie G and – hailing from the Apsaalooké Nation – Rezcoast Grizz. There’s also a country-western singer and a flute-and-storytelling performance.
Demonstrations include beadwork and corn-husk dolls, and there’s a Native artisan market with locally made jewelry, accessories and clothing. For grub, expect Indigenous food tastings and more. The host for this year’s fest is Oakland stand-up comedian Jackie Keliiaa, who says this “event is so fun. It’s local and it’s summer and it’s educational – it’s just a perfect Saturday outing and so ‘Bay Area.’”Noon-5 p.m. on June 10 at La Escuelita Elementary School, 1050 2nd Ave.
