On Saturday, the Indigenous Peoples Day “Pow Wow” and Indian Market took place in MLK Civic Center Park in Berkeley, California. This event was full of local vendors, along with many Indigenous and other people who watched dancers compete in different styles of dance for prizes. Randy Pico and Aurora Mamea served as the event’s emcees. Many of these competitors and audience members come as far as Alaska, Hawaii and many parts of the east coast.
