- Bay Area Native Americans Strike Back Against "Burning Men" and the
Commodification of Native Cultures: There was supposed to be a "private"
Burner party last Saturday night at the Bordello in Oakland, complete with
three hundred guests, twenty DJs spinning thumping techno and bass, dancers,
a fashion show, micro-massages, raw food, an absinthe bar, and coconuts.
Instead, the event ended in tears. More than fifty Bay Area Native American
rights activists converged on the historic East Oakland property at 9:30 p.m.
to ensure the shutdown of popular Burning Man group Visionary Village's "Go
Native!" party. The fired-up Hopis, Kiowas and other tribal members spent
more than four hours lecturing the handful of white, college-class Burners
about cultural sensitivity until some of them simply broke down crying.
