The performance will focus on the Acjachemen Nation, which flourished in Southern California hundreds of years ago before the Spanish influx.

Performances will feature powwows, songs and stories shared by award-winning storyteller Jacque Tahuka-Nunez, as she demonstrates her ancestors’ history, dwellings, basket weaving and dances.

During the traditional dances, children will get the opportunity to participate and will leave with a wonderful understanding of environmentalism and what it means to be “keepers of the earth”.
