October 9th-12th we’re bringing our annual celebration to Cincinnati for the eighth year!

This year’s theme is Breaking Systems: A Cultural Renaissance. We’ll celebrate the Indigenized punk aesthetic and highlight contemporary artists whose work dismantles colonial narratives, to rebuild a future rooted in self-determination.

Mark your calendars to join us for our celebration, featuring a contemporary Indigenous art exhibition, music and dance performances, an engaging speaker and film series, community feast, and more.

Save the date!

What's happening in the Marianas?

Super Typhoon Sinlaku recently tore through the Northern Mariana Islands with 160+ mph winds, leaving homes roofless and thousands in emergency shelters.

But this isn't just a "natural disaster" —it's a direct result of a global climate crisis hitting island nations first and hardest.

To the Indigenous communities of the Marianas, this storm is a "disturbed breath," a rupture in the sacred balance of the islands. We cannot rely on the same colonial systems that failed to protect the land to now fix it.

How to help:
Move from Charity to Solidarity: Support mutual aid efforts that are already on the ground.

Prioritize Sovereignty: Real resilience comes from Indigenous land stewardship and traditional knowledge.

Take Action: Support culturally grounded relief funds.

This is a time for reciprocity, not "savior" models. Let's stand with the Marianas as they heal the land and the community.
