What people are saying about experiences with Kakekalanicks:
“This was my first time attending. But, what I did see, the event brought people from all walks of life to enjoy musical performances from native people. Attendees were also able to witness native dancing, crafts and food during a time when our Mother Earth gives us our first medicine the strawberry.”
“What I enjoyed about the “Strawberry moon festival” is that so many cultures have been suppressed over time. The festival is a small start to right the wrongs of the past and bring the culture of Indigenous people to the community. ”
“It feels very special to be part of this sharing cultural values, unity and diversity.”
