We apologize for any pain or confusion our advertising, or any promotion, done on our behalf has caused in our community.
The GO Native series is an invitation for us all to embrace our unique native heritages. Be they Navaho, Norse, or unknown. Furthermore the validity of the native american church charter that this event's funds are dog-eared for will be publicly verified, and if it cannot, then all funds will be turned over to the bay area Amerindian community.
Meanwhile, anything resembling native american symbolism has been removed from all promotional materials that we have access to, and the four rooms solely oriented to earth, air, water, and fire. Furthermore we are Emailing our contacts a clarification and reminder of the true meaning on how to Go Native with integrity to ones self and ones neighbors.
Please feel free to email us any further suggestions or come join us to hold space for education and transformation of all ignorance into integrity. We will also be available in a public forum Friday march 27th at Mosswood Park in Oakland, at 5PM. For any and all interested parties to hold us accountable toward creating an event deemed fantastic by the people.
It's not wince-free, clearly, and particularly in light of their responses back on indybay.org.
