Announcement: Cancellation IAF 2012

Dear all,

Thanks for all your support for Indigenous Movement! Unfortunately, the Indigenous Awareness Festival 2012, scheduled for 1st & 2nd June, has been cancelled as we weren't able to obtain the necessary finances to make this tremendous production go through. We want to make sure to delivery a truly spectacular event in which all aspects of Indigenous traditions & sustainability can be highlighted without having to make compromises nor eliminate parts of the program for the sake of budget. Nevertheless, we will continue to look for (financial) support and we will hopefully make this happen in the near future! 

On the bright side: The Indigenous Political Prisoners Demonstration will go through! 

Date: Saturday 2nd June

Time: 14.00 12.00 - 15.00

Location: Museumplein, Amsterdam

The International Committee Against Disappearances (http://www.icad-int.org/) and Indigenous Movement would like to invite you all to participate! 

Once again, thanks for your support and participation and we look forward to seeing you on Saturday 2nd June!

Protect & Defend,

Indigenous Movement
