Run Me My Land Back

Run Me My Land Back is a restorative cultural gathering centered on Indigenous identity, belonging, and reclamation. What is Run Me My Land Back? An annual gathering facilitated by the Restorative Justice Institute of Oklahoma centered on cultural activities, creative expression, shared food, storytelling, and meaningful conversation. Participants are invited to explore who they are, where they come from, and how their identities and lineages shape their lives. Inspired by the Land Back movement, this gathering creates space to honor Indigenous cultures, reflect on the impact of displacement and cultural erasure, and celebrate the strength, wisdom, and traditions carried across generations. Together, we will listen to connect, share our stories, and imagine restoration as a return to identity, culture, community, and belonging. What to Expect: • An array of tasty cultural dishes • Various games, activities, and experiences • An unforgettable experience of community! Where Is This Event? We're incredibly grateful to be hosting this year's 2026 Run Me My Land Back program at Palomino Books & Music, an Indigenous and Latine owned, multilingual bookstore, listening room, and community hub space in the historic Kendall-Whittier community of Tulsa, OK.
