The word “solstice” comes from the Latin words “sun” and “to stand still.” People of different cultures and faiths worldwide have been celebrating this celestial event for millennia. Solstice allows us to pause for reflection, gratitude, and a deeper connection to nature and ourselves. Group drumming fosters a sense of community and releases endorphins, elevating your mood. We will meet up on Moonlight Beach, south of the lifeguard station. ICEJ - the Interfaith Coalition for Earth Justice on Instagram

Come attend a screening of “You’re No Indian,” which is not just a film – it’s a call to action. At the heart of this 2025 documentary lies a battle for identity and justice, where militias storm casinos, graves are pillaged for DNA evidence and even proven lineage cannot save individuals from disenrollment. More than 10,000 people have been disenrolled from their tribes in recent years, eviscerated from their communities and families. Research confirms disenrollment’s relationship to tribal gaming and even the corruption of tribal politicians. Not only does it result in financial ruin for the disenrolled, but immeasurable psychological harm when they are now told “you’re no Indian.” This film exposes the dark intersection of power, greed and cultural erasure. It’s a powerful stand for those whose voices have been silenced, urging viewers to join a growing movement for truth and accountability.
