FREE Outdoor Latinx & Indigenous Dance Festival in honor of lost waterways + the 5,700 Native Ancestors buried in the Mission Dolores.
Dance Mission Theater and FLACC (Festival of Latin American Contemporary Choreographers) have come together for a day-long street closure to activate the Native American Heritage Site at Dolores Park and remember the waterways on the 18th Street/Mission Creek Corridor (between Church and Dolores Streets) via art and cultural events. In partnership with Ohlone leaders, local artists, Mission High School, and the American Indian Cultural District, this ritual performance intervention will bring awareness to the blocked and soil-filled waterways in Yelamu (what is now known as San Francisco) and will memorialize the 5,700 Indigenous ancestors buried in the Mission Dolores cemetery during early colonization.
