Today is September 25th, California Native America Day!
To celebrate we premiere a new Culture Stories short featuring Fernandeño Tataviam and Chumash elder Alan Salazar making a traditional Tule Reed Canoe with host Alyssa London (Tlingit & Haida).
This video aims to recognize California’s Original People. Alan who devotes his life to telling stories, preserving the traditions of his communities is a wonderful person to feature in honor of this day!
Watch the video until the end to see if the model canoe 🛶 they make stays afloat in the pond 😃.
