The Marshallese American Network for Interacting Together (MANIT) and Lokejlat Leluwa Wotje Club (LLWC) will be hosting the first Ralik Ratak Battle of the Jepta on Saturday, April 1, 2023, at the Columbia Hall at the Oregon State Fairgrounds (2330 17th St NE, Salem, Oregon 97301).
Jepta choreographers describe the everyday lives of the Marshallese in a traditional group dance. Some can be about fishing, building homes, navigation, sports, or even fixing the drainage system on the road or other related issues we encounter in the United States or the Marshall Islands. It brings people together under one roof from different communities, church groups, and villages to celebrate the holiday by performing traditional dances and singing newly composed songs.
Please help make this a successful event with a small sum of donations. Kommool tata!

We believe that MANIT can serve an essential role in working alongside the Marshallese people in the United States by developing educational programs and resources, creating audio, video, and digital materials that highlight Marshallese culture, and helping Americans improve their sense of who the Marshallese are. We plan to work actively with existing groups, seek partnerships, and encourage Marshallese people to reach out and form relationships within and outside the Marshallese community.
