The 21st annual celebration of Indigenous People's Day took place last Saturday in Berkeley. There was exhibition dancing, a powwow, gourd dancing and an Indian market with Native American foods and arts and crafts. The event was held in Civic Center Park and the backdrop was the city’s Saturday Farmers Market. (Ted Friedman / Berkeleyside)

Jose Rodriguez prepares to be kicked out of the abandoned plot he occupies in the Iron Triangle. Rodriguez is occupying one of Richmond's many foreclosed sites. The bank never took ownership of the property after foreclosing on the owner. This practice allows banks to avoid liability, but it also increases blight and makes it difficult for the city to manage abandoned properties. (Joaquin Palomino / Richmond Confidential)
