"MC She" Tells It Like It Is

This great explanation of the gathering comes from MC She, recorded at the Colorado July 4th Gathering in 2006.



A friend of mine has an amazing website called Sounds From The Rainbow, where this and other amazing recordings exist.

Local's Perspective of the Gathering (Before and After)

Image
  These series of videos were created by a local and show the before, during, and after showing the land from Travel DnA  During the Gathering   This is a compilation video of 4 trips up to Adam's Park in NW Colorado. It was the 50th Anniversary of the Rainbow Family Gatherings, and they chose a spot in the Routt National Forest, in our backyard. Adam's Park is very special to our family and we decided to take several trips up to the Gathering, to document the set-up, the festivities and most importantly the clean-up, reclamation and impact to the land. The Rainbow Family requested that we refrain from taking direct pictures of people without their permission. Therefore, our videos do not show much of the kitchens, bartering, festivities and such.   Rainbow Cleanup 2022

Combating Abusive Law Enforcement

If you were at the 50th Anniversary of the Rainbow Gathering of the Tribes and you were stopped by law enforcement for any reason, during which you feel the officer(s) involved were abusive, you are encouraged to file an administrative complaint with the agency where the officer is employed. There is no time limit within which to file as long as it is reasonable. When filing an administrative complaint, focus only on the conduct of the officer(s) involved and report only the facts to the best of your knowledge. Keep in mind, you are filing an administrative complaint against officer conduct and not any charges that may have been brought against you. If you make your complaint about any charges, it will be promptly denied as that is a matter for a judge to decide. Generally, statements made in an administrative complaint are admissible in a court of law. Folks are advised to keep their complaint focused only on the conduct of the officer(s) involved.

But in case your curious, here it is. Or find it here in PDF format.
