Graphic Description:
On a black background, white text reads, “WEF staff is aware of a group of drummers that have congregated near the quad. We acknowledge the harm of cultural appropriation felt by Indigenous communities because of this.

We want to make it clear that the WEF staff does not associate with or condone the actions, cultural appropriation, and values exhibited by these individuals.

We have been working in collaboration throughout the year with student organizations and the greater community to consider our options in navigating this situation and identify ways we can mitigate the issue. Because of freedom of expression policies on campus, we are unable to remove this group.

Official Whole Earth Festival programming takes place on the Quad and Wellman lawn. We encourage festival goers to engage with performances, workshops, and activities occurring in our program.

We understand that this situation is far from ideal and appreciate everyone’s understanding and support of the Whole Earth Festival. We will continue to work to ensure Whole Earth is a safe and inclusive space for the Davis community.
