An Aztec dancer celebrates Indigenous People’s Day last year at Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park, at Martin Luther King Jr. and Allston ways. Today is Berkeley’s Ninth Annual celebration of native peoples in Martin Luther King Jr. Park, a holiday which replaced Columbus Day in the city in 1991.
