“Often, Indigenous people don’t have safe spaces for our creative expression. We are building those safe spaces, we are grassroots, and doing the groundwork needed to bring healing to our community. Music is a vehicle to drive our messages and amplify our voices, music is a universal language that brings people together. We will continue to build off the strength of our ancestors, and bring our truths to light and use our platforms to fight for justice.”
– Award-winning hip-hop artist, activist and entrepreneur, Dakota Bear.
There is also a panel on Friday, August 23rd, and an After Party late Saturday. Follow Land Back Records for the latest news and lineup updates, and get your tickets now.
