Roots Resilience: A celebration of Indigenous Culture, Music, Dance and Food.
The Annual Corn Festival
Celebrates community, indigeneity, land, and cultural reclamation through the Food Justice & Sovereignty Program Garden Harvests, Food, Music, and Educational Workshops.
Thank you to everyone that attended the 3rd Annual Corn Festival at the Agricultural Heritage Center in Longmont. We are so grateful to all the attendees, performers, panelists, demonstrators, instructors and donors who made this event possible.
Harvest of All First Nations (HAFN) cares for the land, the people and healing of Native Nations by creating equity, granting land access, reclaiming culture and fighting for food sovereignty for all! In order for us to continue giving back to the community we need your support. As a new organization we are striving to obtain sustainable funding to continue with our Mission. You can make a difference today by donating to support the organization.
The Corn Festival will be bringing Indigenous Knowledge from First Nations Peoples to the public to teach about the value and application of Ancestral and cultural teachings of regenerative agriculture and societal customs.
The inception of the Corn Festival Initiative is a clear step towards reparations that Indigenous communities have been demanding for centuries. Racial reconciliation, environmental, economic, and social justice must be reclaimed through the opportunity for land and food restorations amongst BIPOC communities by accessing land and the native foods without corporate influence. This festival will have the intention to educate, share and help with the decolonization process amongst our people and other cultures by bringing the culture of the corn alive again from the ground. This project was born from the collaboration between FLOWS, El Centro AMISTAD and a community learning series that hosted a talk titled El Maíz: Reclamando el Poder de la Comida Ancestral.
We are organizing the Corn Festival to develop a way where we can all benefit by learning, teaching, planting, healing and empowering each other. We believe that this festival will bring a lot of healing to the people, while recovering ancestral memory.
The land is a place of power, power which has been taken from BIPOC communities through systemic oppression, genocide, slavery, and erasure, creating multiple generational traumas through the banishment of the land, and taking away and essential sacred ways of life to the Indigenous people like corn. We are in revolutionary times and it is time for us to claim food justice, land reparations and take our power back as BIPOC communities!
Come celebrate, connect, learn, and dance at the Harvest of All Nations Corn Festival with us and share in the harvest of food we've grown for the people!
