Speakers
- Members of the Luise帽o tribe and professors Patti Dixon and Alan Aquallo from Palomar Community College will discuss the relationship between traditional stories and traditional land tenure.
- Birdsingers Guy Trujillo (Cupe帽o) and Ral Christman (Kumeyaay) will tell the stories of both ancient migrations and sacred lands.
- Ron Goode, from the Northfork Mono tribe and Jared Aldern will also talk about their efforts to teach California school children about traditional tribal cultural resources found on the land and how to sustain them.
"Our goal is to get the curriculum as widely implemented as possible," Aldern said. "There's so much to learn from traditional stories. It's possible to engage students in discussions or writing exercises that meet the standards while the Native story content is driving the discussion.鈥
