On May 24, 2014 more than a dozen Indigenous poets, storytellers, musicians and spoken word artists performed at an event entitled Our Land, Culture, Community: Story, Poetry, Song, Music, Rap for Liberation. The event was a benefit for the Indigenous Alliance Without Borders whose mission is to affirm the rights of indigenous peoples, their right to self determination, their collective human and civil rights, the rights of sovereignty and the protection of sacred sites, and the free unrestricted movement across international borders.

Ortiz, an Indigenous poet and writer of Acoma Pueblo heritage who specializes in Indigenous Literature.

The program begins with creative writer Melissa Slocum of Seneca heritage. The show also features 3 youth members of the Pascua Yaqui tribe chapter of MOVE, Motivating Others Through Voice and Experience.
