Description

Join Rev. Dr. Jackie Cope Ed.D. and Crow Canyon’s very own Alicia Benally for an engaging introduction to Indigenous California through the lens of Then, Now, and Always.

This presentation explores the history and culture of the Cahuilla people and neighboring tribal nations. Learn about contemporary Indigenous communities and gain a deeper understanding of tribal sovereignty, culture, and connection to place. This webinar provides important context for the upcoming Cultural Explorations travel program while challenging common misconceptions about California Native peoples.

Together, we will discover that Indigenous California is not only part of the past, but a living, thriving, and enduring presence today and into the future.
